"unfold" by marie digby

What i can remember
is a lot like water
trickling down a page
of the most beautiful colors
i can't quite put my finger
down on the moment that i
became like this...

you see i am the bravest girl
you will ever come to meet
yet i shrink down to nothing
at the thought of someone
really seeing me
i think my heart is wrapped around
and tangled up in winding weeds

but i dont wanna go on living
being so afraid of showing
someone else my imperfections
and even though my feet
are trembling
and every word i say comes stumbling
i will bare it all...

watch me unfold
unfold

these hands that i hold
behind my back are bound and broken
by my own doing
and i can't feel
anything anymore
i need a touch to remind me
i'm still real

but i dont wanna go on living
being so afraid of showing
someone else my imperfections
and even though my feet
are trembling
and every word i say comes stumbling
i will bare it all...

watch me unfold
unfold

my soul
it's dying to be free
you see..
i can't live the rest of my life
so guarded
it's dying to be free
it's up to me to choose...
what kind of life i lead

but i dont wanna go on living
being so afraid of showing
someone else my imperfections
and even though my feet
are trembling
and every word i say comes stumbling
i will bare it all...

watch me unfold
unfold

i will allow someone to love me
i will allow someone to love me
