Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I shouldn't lie to you
It wouldn't be nice to you
If I wasn't being myself, yeah
Why I'm so scared of myself, yeah
I couldn't fight the truth
I wasn't gettin' over you
I shouldn't run from the bad times
I should just work on my bad side
[Verse 2]
Don't let go
Of what's in front of me
The pain in my soul
Is making it hard to breathe
And I should've know
That I'm still the older me
See my journey onward
Sojourn home
[Verse 3]
I didn't mean to break your trust
I didn't mean to make this tough
I'm scared I'm gonna pass you up
I really wanna show you love
Maybe who I be is enough
Maybe all I need is a hug
Know I never mean to fuck it up
Maybe I just need to open up
[Verse 4]
No more goodbye
I'm scared to make you cry
Can't you look you in the eye
I prayed for peace of mind
And I shouldn't lie
I'm scared this isn't right
I ain't used to nice
I ain't used to nice guys
[Verse 5]
Don't let go
Of what's in front of me
The pain in my soul
Is making it hard to breathe
And I should've know
That I'm still the older me
See my journey onward
Sojourn home
[Verse 6]
I didn't mean to break your trust
I didn't mean to make this tough
I'm scared I'm gonna pass you up
I really wanna show you love
Maybe all I be is enough
Maybe all I need is a hug
Know I never mean to fuck it up
Maybe I just need to open up
[Verse 7]
Open up
Open up
I really wanna open up for you
I really wanna open up for you
