[Verse 1]
I used to fold my edges in
Talk soft
Laugh it off
Then spin
Every truth into a smaller shape
So no one saw the cracks I taped
[Pre-Chorus]
But my eyes get tired from looking down
And my tongue gets sore from biting now
Every "fine" I say is heavy
And my hands keep shaking steady
[Chorus]
I wanna be naked in the light
Let the whole room see me cry
Let my scars spell out my name
I’m not broken
I’m just changed
I’m done hiding from my heart
Done pretending in the dark
If I love you
I won’t lie
I wanna be naked in the light (oh)
[Verse 2]
I learned to laugh right through the ache
To leave first
Just in case you flaked
Kept my “I love you” in the throat
Wrote your name
Then burned the note
[Pre-Chorus]
But your hands feel safe on all the seams
And your chest sounds quiet when I breathe
If I fall apart
Will you stay?
I’m so scared
I’ll say it anyway
[Chorus]
I wanna be naked in the light
Let the whole room see me cry
Let my scars spell out my name
I’m not broken
I’m just changed
I’m done hiding from my heart
Done pretending in the dark
If I love you
I won’t lie
I wanna be naked in the light
[Bridge]
Let the old shame go
Let the old ghosts fade
All the "too much" stories
I was taught to say
I forgive that girl
Who was small to survive
Now I’ll take up space
And I’ll stay alive (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m gonna be naked in the light
If my voice shakes
That’s alright
Every tear is on my side
I’m not broken
I’m just bright
I’m done hiding from my heart
You can meet me where you are
If I love you
I’ll say it twice
I’m gonna be naked in the light (oh-oh)
