Chosen

I'm so afraid
I never knew
I could ever
Fear you

You make me feel
Like someone else
Like I've been turned
Inside out

I want you
I shouldn't
I tried to
I couldn't
I love you
I shouldn't
I'd take you
But you wouldn't

I'm so alone
I never thought
I'd feel this
When I'm not

You make me think
You're someone else
Like I shouldn't
Have a doubt

But I know you don't need me
And I'm not sure you want me

Tell me
Would you ever want to break my heart?
Show me
Someone that I can lean on

I'm so disgraced
I always said
Never love too much
Always pretend

But I'm open
Wide open
Bleeding my vulnerability
I've chosen
My choice is
Breathing intoxicity

And I'm crawling
Defenses broken
Cold against the wall
And I've called out
I've spoken
Just waiting to fall

Fall down
I'm down
I'm out
And nothing's what it seems

I'm so afraid
I never knew
I could ever
Fear you

You make me feel
Like it's all a dream
But lift the veil
And there's reality

But I'm open
Defenses broken
I've spoken
So much is left to be chosen
