Intro: E B A A
E B A E B A
There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost
There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face
There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint
And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait
E B A E B A
You come along and invite these parts out of hiding
This invitation is the one that I've stopped fighting....

Thank you for seeing me I feel so less lonely

your empathy, oh this intimacy

There were so many times, I thought I'd die not being truly known
There've been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation

You come along and celebrate each feeling
And there you are all honor and inquiring.......

There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me

And to know myself enough to let you help me
