There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost 
There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face 
There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint 
And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait 
 
            E B      A                          E  B  A 
You come along and invite these parts out of hiding 
This invitation is the one that I've stopped fighting....

your empathy, oh this intimacy

There were so many times, I thought I'd die not being truly known 
There've been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation 
 
             E B      A             E  B  A 
You come along and celebrate each feeling 
And there you are all honor and inquiring.......

There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me 
C#m           B    A         B       C#m      B  A  B 
Required too much you see to accept your generosity 
         C#m      B  A   B        E 
And to know myself enough to let you help me
