Tonight

You tore my heart open
What did you expect to find?
Did you actually think
You would see that I'm truly alive?

See, its these things I hide
That are the real reasons I fight
These tears I shed to the side
Are the true meaning
Of the things I reveal
Tonight

You love me
But you don't even know who I am
Like a clam
So sheltered inside I've always been
Always concealing
These sins
that are the reasons I cannot win

And again
You remind me of all these times I fealt insecure
Do you even realize
That i
Am not even sure

Of these feelings I vent
As I beg for another chance to repent
You cast away all your lies
That have affected so many lives
As I cry
Tonight

So the next time you ask me how I feel
Beware
Its the true feelings I kept sealed
Inside
Always remember
The things you learned
When you tore my heart open
Tonight
