From the recording Let Me Feel This Right
Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm, nobody's watching now
So let me feel this right
[Verse 1]
I turned the television off
Sat down on the kitchen floor
Pulled out every careful lie
I'd been keeping in a drawer
The wine glass is still on the counter
I don't need it anymore
Just me and all this quiet weight
I've been too afraid to pour
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep choosing busy over honest
Keep choosing numb over real
But tonight I owe myself the truth
I owe myself the chance to heal
[Chorus]
Nobody's watching now, so let me feel this right
No performance, no pretending I'm fine
I'm sitting with my wounds in the pale blue light
Trading all my armor for a little more time
Yeah, let me feel this right
[Verse 2]
I see the patterns in the photos
Same eyes, same leaving, same excuse
I kept repainting all the damage
Like every door needed a new bruise
I was loyal to the version
That never let me need a thing
But she was tired long before me
So tonight I'm letting her rest in peace
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep choosing busy over honest
Keep choosing numb over real
But tonight I owe myself the truth
I owe myself the chance to heal
[Chorus]
Nobody's watching now, so let me feel this right
No performance, no pretending I'm fine
I'm sitting with my wounds in the pale blue light
Trading all my armor for a little more time
Yeah, let me feel this right
[Bridge]
I don't need resolution
Just permission to begin
To stop being a stranger
To the woman underneath the skin
This isn't about being broken
This is finding out I'm not
[Final Chorus]
Nobody's watching now, so let me feel this right
No performance, no pretending I'm fine
I'm sitting with my wounds in the pale blue light
And I'm choosing me, just once, tonight
Yeah, let me feel this right
[Outro]
Nobody's watching
So let me feel
Let me feel this right
