I’m leaving pieces down the road
(Important parts of my self)
That were easier drug as ballast
Than pushed forward though hell.
I’m really not all here
I’m living more, becoming less
When I need the parts I left behind
My whole self turns into darkness.
Kiss me, so I’ll know you love me
Hold me, to prove I’m not alone
I’m so exposed, I need you to cover me,
Surround me cause I’m so incomplete.
At any given moment
The world can only see
One dimensional slices
Of who I’m trying to be.
Let them condemn or approve
If they’ve done what they can
To see me holistically
If they’ve tried to understand.
How can a stranger reject you for you are?
Kiss me, so I’ll know you love me
Hold me, to prove I’m not alone
I’m so exposed, I need you to cover me,
Surround me cause I’m so incomplete.
I’ve never found a song that says how I feel
I’ve found people who could love,
but none who could heal
I don’t care how I’m seen in another’s mind
Until they see the pieces I’m trying to leave behind
Kiss me,
Hold me,
I’m so exposed, I need you to
listen and realize
What I’m asking of you
I’m asking of me
