Paulina
Fear and Honesty: Unraveling Insecurities in Paulina's Tale
Lyrics
You think I'm square
You perceive me as conventional or uncool
Don't like the clothes I wear,
You disapprove of my clothing choices
The way I comb my hair,
You criticize how I groom myself
The way I sit and stare at you.
You notice my contemplative gaze at you
It's just a game
I adopt a playful attitude to divert attention from myself
To take the spotlight off of me
I use games or distractions to avoid scrutiny
I'm just afraid of what you might think
I fear judgment and worry about what you think of me
Sing another stupid song about everything that's wrong
I sing songs addressing societal issues and superficial matters
Girls and other surface things do mean a lot to me, but I
Although material things matter, I guard myself from emotional involvement
I could not let you in, let you in too deep
I resist letting you get too close due to fear
I'm just afraid of what you might think
I worry about your perception of me
Paulina, you know this isn't me
I admit that my current behavior is not my true self
I've been dishonest
I confess to being dishonest in some way
Now it's time to come clean
I acknowledge the need to be honest and genuine
I said Paulina, I'm the one for you, you'll see
I assert that I am the right person for you
Just as soon as you see me
You will realize my worth when you truly see me
Don't walk away from me,
I request you not to leave
Listen to what I say
Listen to my sincere words
Alright, I'm sorry, I never wanted it this way
I apologize and express regret for the current situation
I took it, I took it too far with my insecurities
I confess that my insecurities led me to go too far
I'm just afraid of what you might think
I am apprehensive about your judgment of me
