Being Me

Waste, I waste my time
’Cause I can’t find me
But I, I’ll search my mind,
Partially blind, for truth
Going in circles, falling behind
It’s all, it’s all in my mind
I’m opening up so why don’t you just listen to me?
Isn’t it clear that this is who I want to be?
Maybe it’s ’cause I’m turned away so you can’t see
And despite what I think, I’m still not being me
Spending all my days just waiting for you to come
Someone who understands where I’m coming from
I’ll share some secrets with you, so they’re not just locked inside
But showing you only a piece of me is just another way to hide
I’m opening up so why don’t you just listen to me?
Isn’t it clear that this is who I want to be?
Maybe it’s ’cause I’m turned away so you can’t see
And despite what I think, I’m still not being me
Breaking it down, blow by blow, and I’m holding onto what I know
I'll scrape away the remnants of the parts of me unable to love
They’re just thoughts in my mind, I’ve gotta leave them behind
So I can be unconfined
I’ll let this introspection send me in a new direction
But this time I’m taking hold ’cause insecurity is getting old
Finding truth in myself isn’t something I should fake
I don’t need to please anyone else; the truth is mine to make
I’m opening up ’cause I know you can’t do it for me
I’m trying to view my life as an opportunity
And I’m turning to you so you can watch as I’m set free
From the doubt and fear I had about just being me

I can’t find the words
To say what I feel
Every single time I see your face
I don’t always show you
And I feel as though you
May never see yourself the way that you see me
So I will tell you that you’re beautiful
Perfect in every way
‘Cause you won’t believe that your imperfections
Make me want to stay
You shine like the sun
So I’ll be your moon
Reflecting your kindness back at you
When you need a friend, I
I’ll stand by your side, I
I will hold your hand until I’m convinced
That you believe in you
So I will tell you that you’re beautiful
Perfect in every way
‘Cause you won’t believe that your imperfections
Make me want to stay
You make me want to sing when I've no voice
You sing along with me, too
You make me want to be the best
That I can be for you
Love is all I’ll ever do
In my heart it is firm
Though our feet, they may wander
As our paths twist and turn
You're more than a friend
You're more than a girl
There's greatness in everything you do
I'll try to make you see
These things that we all see
You deserve to feel the warmth and love
That we've all felt from you
So I will tell you that you’re beautiful
Perfect in every way
‘Cause you won’t believe that your imperfections
Are what make me want to stay
You make me want to sing when I've no voice
You sing along with me, too
You make me want to be the best
That I can be for you

Say Goodbye

Every night I cry into my sheets
Hoping that this sadness will leave me
But my tear stained pillow just won't soak up my grief
So I'm left thinking about you and feeling incomplete
Every time I fall asleep, we're back together
You tell me you'll be mine now and forever
When I wake up the next morning without you in my arms
I realize it was just another wishful dream
Take me back, oh, take me back
Take me back into your arms
Look at me, oh, look at me
And tell me you don't love me anymore
Every day I long for your affection
Consumed by my need for some connection
And in your smile, I find what I seek
But in your heart lies nothing I can keep
No, there's nothing for me to keep
Look at me, oh, look at me
And tell me you don't love me anymore
Say goodbye, woah, say goodbye
I'm begging you to walk right out that door
I need your anger
'Cause I can't bear to see your tears
It's the only way I'll ever move along
I'm sleepwalking through life
And I just want to wake up
So won't you please say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, say goodbye
I'm begging you to walk right out that door
Leave me be, woah, leave me be
'Cause I know I'll never leave you
'Cause in my heart my love still feels true
I can't bear to say goodbye to you

Be Found
05:00

A heart-to-heart over a night or two
You learn me and I'll learn you
Just name the time and place
And I'll bring you into my space
I'll play a song that only we can hear
To make our loneliness disappear
We can let each other in
And something new can begin
You can sing to me in the darkest hour of night
And I’ll wait to hear tales of heartache and fright
Show me all your fears and I will show you mine
Let out all your tears, in my light they will shine
Now we’re not too far from reaching for the stars
So let’s bring it down and let ourselves be found
My heart is numb and my hands are tied
But in you I can confide
I'll tell you all you want to know
And together we can grow
I'll play a song that only we can hear
To make our loneliness disappear
We can let each other in
And something new can begin
You can sing to me in the darkest hour of night
And I’ll wait to hear tales of heartache and fright
Show me all your fears and I will show you mine
Let out all your tears, in my light they will shine
Now we’re not too far from reaching for the stars
So let’s bring it down and let ourselves be found
Are you the one who I've been dreaming about?
Can you wake me up to shake this doubt?
Will we fall in love and our hearts out of place?
Will I lose a friend, impossible to replace?
You can sing to me in the darkest hour of night
And I’ll wait to hear tales of heartache and fright
Show me all your fears and I will show you mine
Let out all your tears, in my light they will shine
Now we’re not too far from reaching for the stars
So let’s bring it down and let ourselves be found
