God knows I'm terrified Of all these things I was taught to hide Oh, lover won’t you look at me As tears stream down my cheeks For I want you to see me when I'm weak And there are days in which I cry From all of those self-imposed binds of mine If I never know the joy of loving you Its 'cause it seems I’ve bound my happiness up in them too For I know my mind can come and go But there are some things you should know My joy is proportionate to my throes My passion needs a home! Oh, my babe My fear is no longer my pain It’s my ability to always say How much I need you When I am afraid 'Cause I’ve been in harm’s way So I hid myself away But now I'm asking you Please Keep me safe God knows I'm terrified That no one could ever love Someone with a mind like mine So please just look at me Decide now if you’ll help me Rip out these seams Oh, will you accept me? Come what madness we make be Oh, and God knows that I'm terrified That I’ll always have to hide Or hold back from this life For I wanna feel it all with you I wanna touch the fire and let it burn me too Make me fall the way lovers do Oh, and babe My fears no longer my pain It’s my ability to always say How much I need you And not be so, so Afraid Oh, won’t you please just keep me safe? Oh, won’t you pull me into your arms And take care of all my only thoughts And help me untie these restraints That dig into my ribcage For now I’ll need all That precious space And God knows that I am terrified That we won’t have enough time For all this hope that I still feel And all this love I have yet to give I am watered I am basked now in the light Oh, my babe My fear is no longer my pain It’s my ability to always say How much I love you 'Cause in you Yes in you I am safe Oh, please just keep me safe Safe
