Vulnerable
Embracing Strength in Vulnerability
Lyrics
I cut my hair again the other day
I recently cut my hair.
I still look the same though
Despite the haircut, my appearance hasn't changed.
It's just a way I cope
Cutting hair is a coping mechanism for me.
I took a few pictures of my face
I took pictures of myself lying on unfolded clothes.
Laying on all of my clothes
The clothes represent an undone aspect of my life.
That I have yet to fold
I still have things to deal with and organize.
Woke up on the wrong side of bed
I woke up feeling negative.
All these worries filling up my head
Various worries are overwhelming my thoughts.
Guess I'll walk myself back inside
I'll retreat back indoors.
There's no need to go out tonight
Choosing not to go out tonight.
I don't wanna be vulnerable
I want to avoid being emotionally exposed.
Paint a smile on, "Yeah, I'm all good"
Pretending to be fine with a painted smile.
Can't find the light at the end of the tunnel
Struggling to see the positive side.
Band-aid on my bullet hole
Trying to cover up emotional wounds.
I'd love to think that I'm extrovert
I wish I were more outgoing.
Haven't been the same lately
Recent changes have affected me.
I feel like a homebody, oh
Feeling like staying at home.
Gotta keep my eyes on what matters
Focusing on what truly matters.
Instead of negativity
Avoiding negativity in my life.
And running with the enemy
Avoiding conflicts and negative influences.
But it's easier said than done
It's challenging to follow this advice.
Even though it's not what I want
Even though it's not my preference.
Guess I'll walk myself back inside
I'll go back inside, avoiding social situations.
There's no need to go out tonight
No need to go out tonight.
I don't wanna be vulnerable
Again, avoiding vulnerability.
Paint a smile on, "Yeah, I'm all good"
Putting on a facade of happiness.
Can't find the light at the end of the tunnel
Struggling to see a positive future.
Band-aid on my bullet hole
Attempting to cover emotional wounds.
I don't wanna be vulnerable
Repeating the desire not to be vulnerable.
Paint a smile on, "Yeah, I'm all good"
Pretending everything is okay.
Can't find the light at the end of the tunnel
Still struggling to see a positive future.
Band-aid on my bullet hole
Using a temporary solution for emotional pain.
Looking back, was it all worth it?
Reflecting on past choices and their value.
How was I so self-indulgent?
Questioning past self-indulgence.
I'm living now, with a purpose
Currently living with a sense of purpose.
I've learned from my past
Having learned from past mistakes.
I was so careless
Acknowledging past carelessness.
From time to time
Occasionally feeling vulnerable.
Still feel like
Despite progress, still experiencing vulnerability.
I don't wanna be vulnerable
Reiterating the desire to avoid vulnerability.
Paint a smile on, "Yeah, I'm all good"
Continuing to pretend everything is fine.
Can't find the light at the end of the tunnel
Struggling to see a positive future.
Band-aid on my bullet hole
Using temporary solutions for emotional pain.
Some days that's just how it goes
Accepting that some days are challenging.
