I′ve never been confident

Never wanted to take my shirt off in front of girls

And it's probably something that I have learnedNeed to come to terms and be honest with

But I′m too scared of what people might say

I'm afraid of everyone judging me

Once they observe what I preserve, and stop loving me

'Cause that shit hurts, I did it first, and it′s cutting me

Deeper than a knife ever could

I′m no good

Give me strength

I've cried too many times here in the quiet

In my bed

I hate myself, but I do it in private

I′m so scared

I just can't have you anywhere near me

′Cause what if you see me the way that I see me?

I think I owe an apology

To the kid I was when I was young, 'cause I promised him

That I′ll figure all this out by the time that he'd gotten here

But that was a lie, and I am still ashamed

'Cause I′m to blame, ooh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

The war that I′m fighting is fought by a person I can't see

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

And lately, I′m hiding, all 'cause of me

Give me strength

I′ve cried too many times here in the quiet

In my bed

I hate myself, but I do it in private

I'm so scared

I just can′t have you anywhere near me

'Cause what if you see me the way that I see me?

Lost my head

I'm not too proud of the way that I′m hiding

Eyes are red

Been months since I caught myself smiling

I′m so scared

I just can't have you anywhere near me

′Cause what if you see me the way that I see me?

Give me strength

I've cried too many times here in the quiet

In my bed

I hate myself, but I do it in private

I′m so scared

I just can't have you anywhere near me

′Cause what if you see me the way that I see me?
