Beneath the Surface

What if I talked about my fears instead of my crushes
Could that be something normal
Or would it be too real
I got a secret, I’m not always okay
But I don’t really wanna talk about it
And that’s okay
First say it to myself
Then to somebody else
Who holds space for me
But I gotta be the one
To open up my arms
So maybe you’ll see
That I could be strong
I could be brave
If you just get beneath the surface
Make me feel warm
Make me feel safe
Come on just get beneath the surface
Wanna know what’s under my skin
Wanna feel the things that I feel
Deep dive into my mind (who knows what you’ll find)
So take my hand
Give me a chance
Maybe we’ll get beneath the surface
Measuring who I am
In words I think you’re thinking
The weight of all the labels
I’m drowning in opinions
Could I change the way we have our conversations
Lift the veil on all my struggles
Turn the tables
First say it to myself
Then to somebody else
Who holds space for me
But I gotta be the one
To open up my arms
So maybe you’ll see
That I could be strong
I could be brave
If you just get beneath the surface
Make me feel warm
Make me feel safe
Come on just get beneath the surface
Wanna know what’s under my skin
Wanna feel the things that I feel
Deep dive into my mind (who knows what you’ll find)
So take my hand
Give me a chance
Maybe we’ll get beneath the surface
