they say don't be an open book
you leave yourself vulnerable
so i built a wall
that couldn't help
but had windows
maybe i can sit down
so they won't see me
but the tower often
flooded with sadness
on the flames of anger
glowed with joy
they could clearly see something
so i put on a paper bag
i am not vulnerable
nobody can see it's me
i can live like this
but then it starts to hurt
maybe i can build a door
or at least open a window
maybe it wouldn't hurt
for someone to see me
it was too painful to be hidden
i rather take a chance
to be exposed
and to be loved
