Lyrics
Do you know how scary it is
sitting here singing to you
do you know how scary it is
putting my soul out there
for your ridicule
Ah, but my heart wants to sing
my heart wants to sing
and I want to give my heart
everything it wants
even if it scares me
there's a part of me I keep locked inside
sometimes all I know to do is hide
but if we can't share
who we really are
might as well leave ourselves at home
in a jar
Ah, but my heart wants to sing
my heart wants to sing
and I want to give my heart
everything it wants
even if it scares the hell out of me
