I'm trying for a draw when there's room enough to dare.
I'm cutting it close when there's
space enough to spare.
Holding my breath out in the
fresh air.
I pretend to be aloof when I
truly, deeply care.

Why
can't I be just what I am?
Why
can't I seem to follow my own heart's plan?
Why
do I lie looking straight into your eyes?
Why
can't I trust myself anymore?

In the beginning it all seemed so
crystal clear,
like I'd finally found what was
missing all those years,
but before I even knew it the
walls had closed on in.
I had let my heave turn into a
prison.
Why
couldn't I have been just what I was?
Why
couldn't I seem to follow my own heart's tug?
Why
did I lie looking straight into your eyes?
Why
can't I trust myself anymore?
Just let me think what I think
and feel what I feel.
Let me keep on, keep on keeping
it real.
Just let me be authentic and
sincere,
to be guided from within instead
of by fear.
I'm
trying to be just what I am.
I'm
trying to follow my own heart's plan.
I'm
trying not to hide from anybody else's eyes,
just
trying to trust myself a little more.
