Inside

wake up saying I’ll be better todayBut I don’t always know what “better” means to sayI show you the parts that I can controlThen hide the rest when I lose that hold

I want your love, I want my spaceI want no questions, I want your graceI want to feel free and still be nearWithout the weight of facing fear

And I know I send you mixed-up signsLike I’m walking two different linesOne says stay, one runs awayAnd I can’t explain why I’m that way

I don’t know how to be one thingI change like the meaning of what I bringI want it all without the costThen feel the ache of what I lost

Sometimes I talk like I understandBut I’m just trying to steady my handsI don’t always tell you what is trueNot because I don’t care about you

But because I don’t know how to stayWhen the truth starts pulling me the other waySo I hold on loose, I let things driftThen wonder why love feels like a cliff

I don’t know how to be one thingBut I still want the comfort love can bringAnd I see now what it does to youWhen I don’t become someone clear and true
