i take my feelings
and tuck them away
can't let you see them
not this way

i don't want it to go
straight to your head
what i have and hold
is not easily said

your someone who intrigues me
but you never let me in
you give me pieces
but never beginning to end
there's too big of a front
don't know if i'll ever get in

here i am willing
to be by your side
to support you by listening
or even if you need to cry

i'd like to be that shoulder
that you use to lean on
to help you get through
all ends and odds

when you need to cry
when you need a friend
i'd like to be there
through thick and thin

just give me a chance
let me show you how it could be
i'm not like those other girls
i'm different
i'm me

what you've seen
is who i am
i'm not perfect
could never be
i'll give all that i can give
but don't take advantage of me

this is just a piece
of what i have inside
it's nothing perfect
but it's what has arised

there will be more
a little at a time
don't want to rush in
i'm taking one step at a time

i'm not very good
i sort of write as i go
don't be too harsh
for this is what i feel
may not be good enough
but it is what is
