LYRICS:
You throw your arms open wide and I extend my hand
I’m running out of excuses not to let you in
Call it the burden of the human race
My deepest longing and my deepest fear 
Are exactly the same

If you really knew me
Could you really love me
I keep on hiding out and holding it in
If you really saw me
Would you really want me
I don’t know how to let you love me again
And I extend my hand

I hear us talking around the words we ought to say
I’ll be a sketch of myself for now to play it safe
Still I can feel you pulling on my heart
And I could tell you what I want in the end
But I’m lost in my head at the start

If you really knew me
Could you really love me
I keep on hiding out and holding it in
If you really saw me
Would you really want me
I don’t know how to let you love me again
And I extend my hand
