The reason i close myself
And shut the real me in
And avoid being like an open book
I'm afraid of your rejection
It will rip my heart apart
And the pain will be worse
Than having to think about
Not warming up to you
A small part of me
Knows you'll understand me
But another ghostly part
Fears that you'll walk away
After you know how messed up
I am
The reason I'm withdrawn
I fear the pain that comes
From a broken heart
As you might see
That I'm not as good
As the one you had before
That I'm not as interesting
As you thought me to be
That you couldn't handle my baggage
That i brought along with me
