I stood out in the cruelest glare Hands on my heart like no one cared The Sun beat down like it had scored But I couldn’t hide anymore Exposure burns you till you’re bare Every secret stripped right there Under the weight of every stare But I'm alive I'm breathing air I saw my shadow growing thin My walls fell down I let them in The louder whispers turned to roars My story spilled across their floors Exposure burns you till you’re bare Every secret stripped right there Under the weight of every stare But I'm alive I'm breathing air The dark was safe but it was small I never learned to stand at all So here I am torn open wide At least I’ve got the truth on my side Exposure burns you till you’re bare Every secret stripped right there Under the weight of every stare But I'm alive I'm breathing air
