Sugarcoat

I don't wanna hide myself
Just to be seen by somebody else
Who doesn't know me
I wish he'd known me

I don't wanna feed myself
Into a version of someone else
Who doesn't recognize me
I wish somebody would see me

I know we said we're best friends
But I'm always prepared in the end
You're gonna leave me
They always leave me

You know I'll let you in
But just enough to look at
All the messes I've cleaned up
I can't show anyone that stuff
I want nothing more than to open up my heart
But I'm used to sugarcoating for you
Can't let anyone see right through

The truth is if you left, you'd break me
If you saw it all, you'd hate me

They told me I can open up
But if I really do, they'd say
I'm asking for attention (ah-ah-ah)
They say I've got a shoulder I can cry on
But if I ask for help, then I'm the medic?
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I know you say you're helping
But I'm always prepared to lose again
I'm gonna lose again
I'm gonna lose again

You know I'll let you in
But just enough to look at
All the messes I've cleaned up
(Oh-ooh-oh)
I can't show anyone that stuff
(I can't show anyone)
I want nothing more than to open up my heart
But I'm used to sugarcoating for you
Can't let anyone see right through
The truth is if you left, you'd break me
If you saw it all, you'd hate me
