Steph Something & Matt Kaprelian

I meant

Every word of what I said, I will

Not stay and keep

Bleeding slowly, and let

You dismiss my truth as

Merely some daydream, because

You're too afraid to face yourself

And me

I lay bare my heart

Giving you the power to destroy

Because I trusted you to tell me the truth

It was a risk I had to take on you

So it seems

You have a decision to make

I will not be here much longer

So, if you have something you want to say

It's now or never, because

I cannot keep myself locked away

Waiting around for you

To finally take a leap of faith

I lay bare my heart

Giving you the power to destroy

Because I trusted you to tell me the truth

It was a risk I had to take on you
