Trust Somebody Else (Without losing myself)

I wear my heart with pride

It's not hard

What's hard

Is to control how I feel inside

To understand what it means to be me

I need time to figure it out

The embarrassement that it is being alive

With nowhere to hide

When the storm comes far and wide

Only time will tell

If I'll no longer be stuck on the shelf

If I'll ever be myself

And if that'll be enough to somebody else

How can I trust somebody else

Whithout losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Without losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Whithout losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Without losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Whithout losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Without losing myself?

I've been hurt before

My trust shattered on the floor

I've picked up the pieces and tried again

But the fear always remains

I want to believe in love

To give my heart freely

But the past haunts me

And I struggle to let go completely

I wear my heart with pride

But it's been bruised and scarred

I'm scared to let someone in

Afraid of being left broken apart

How can I trust somebody else

Whithout losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Without losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Whithout losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Without losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Whithout losing myself?

How can I trust somebody else

Without losing myself?

But I know I can't give up

On finding love and happiness

I'll keep working on myself

And trust the right one when they come to impress

How can I trust somebody else

Whithout losing myself?

I'll take it one day at a time

And trust that my heart will guide me to the light

And I'll do what feels right

What brings me happiness inside
