Armor of Lies: I Give You My Heart

I mask all my emotions
And wrap vulnerable skin
In an armor of lies
Protect my healing heart
In a tiny metal box

But with you I can remove my mask
And unlock my tender heart
Which I now hand to you

But my armor remains
My shyness...
It darkens my world

I wish I could shed this layer of lies
Reveal to you my bare exposed body
Every secret
Every scar revealed

I wish I could show you who I really am
Underneath it all
Wish I could show you
What I can really be
The things I can do for you
The things I'll let you do for me

But can you,
WILL you
Accept it?
Accept me?

Until I know you can
I stay wrapped in my armor of lies
But still,
I've unlocked my heart,
Which I now hand to you
