You Don't Scare Me

You're ashamed, hiding in the back of the room
Clearing your throat to cover the noise in your body
I have seen all the people you have been
I will acknowledge the good, the bad and the ugly

When your clothes are tight, when your skin is rough
I'm not afraid of you, I see you're weak and you're tough
When you feel ashamed, whatever is wrong
I'll take you home tonight, I will love you enough

I know you're frightened
I know you don't wanna let me see
Shadows and old muscle memories
I love your madness
I'll steer your ship over stormy seas
You might be scared of yourself but you don't scare me

When it hurts there's no need to grit your teeth
Letting the queens and the kings build their castles inside you
I'll brush your hair when your head gets tangled up
The knots and the have-nots aren't going to guilt-trip or guide you

When your clothes are tight (when your clothes are tight)
When your skin is rough (when your skin is rough)
I'm not afraid of you, I see you're weak and you're tough

I know you're frightened
I know you don't wanna let me see
Shadows and old muscle memories
I love your madness
I'll steer your ship over stormy seas
You might be scared of yourself but you don't scare me

When you feel ashamed (when your clothes are tight)
Whatever is wrong (when your skin is rough)
I'll take you home tonight, I will love you enough

I know you're frightened (when you feel ashamed)
I know you don't wanna let me see (don't wanna let me see)
Shadows and old muscle memories
I love your madness
I'll steer your ship over stormy seas
You might be scared of yourself but you don't scare me
