Lyrics
I came to you in pieces like an old mangled puzzle
I approached you with my broken self, like a damaged puzzle.
Missing a few here and there and can't seem to find them
I was incomplete, missing pieces, and struggling to find them.
You came closer
You came closer to me.
And I was afraid
I felt fear when you approached.
With your heart open
You were open-hearted.
I pushed you away
Despite your openness, I pushed you away.
Days to months then to years
Time passed from days to months to years.
You learned to keep your heart hidden
You learned to protect your heart by keeping it hidden.
I tried to impress you with all
I tried to impress you by presenting the pieces I found.
the pieces I found
Now I regret not showing you my vulnerabilities.
Now I wish I would have let you
I wish I had allowed you to see my emptiness.
Let you see my empty spots
So you could have filled those empty spaces with love.
So you could have filled them
Replacing the voids with better things crafted from your love.
With better things made from your love
It emphasizes the transformative power of genuine love.
I've not been the one that I'm hiding
I haven't been true to myself.
Honestly the brilliance scares every part of me
The brilliance within me is intimidating and frightening.
But if there's one out here that I want to see
Expressing a desire for someone specific to see the real self.
It's you, so come and meet the real me
An invitation to meet the authentic self.
Let me ask you
The speaker poses a question.
Can I see your heart again
Asking to see the other person's heart again.
I know I've been such a fool
Admitting past mistakes and foolishness.
I just want to let you in and see it all
Expressing a desire to be vulnerable and open up.
I've not been the one that I'm hiding
Reiteration of not being true to oneself.
Honestly the brilliance scares every part of me
Repeating the fear of one's brilliance.
But if there's one out here that I want to see
Expressing a specific desire to reveal the true self to someone.
It's you, so come and meet the real me
An invitation to meet the authentic self, emphasizing a specific person.
