Wanna turn the page. Wanna know your mind
past the disguise — through the curves of your character.
But you're still afraid — you won't even try.
Just killing time with somebody you don't really know.
I don't wanna complain, but I'm not gonna lie.
Unsatisfied that you won't let me past the rind.
I know we're not the same, but I gotta try
to feel like I'm not alone with you.
How much will I give before I get?
Together our love will lose if we don't untether.
I know better, but I need to see the end myself.
It's not gonna change. I wanna bring to light
what you hide, what you hope, what you fear.
I guess I can't relate if you've no inside.
There's no disguise. You're just blood, skin, bones, and hair.
I wanna get a taste of a better life
where we're working for each other in open air.
I guess I feel ashamed that I gotta try
to feel like I'm not alone with you.
How much will I give before I get?
Together our love will lose if we don't untether.
I know better, but I need to see the end myself.
Whatever. I know the truth, but I don't want to see it.
Things would be better if we untethered now.
It's time. Just do it now; don't wait.
Nothing heals while you're hanging on.
How much will I give before I get?
Together our love will lose if we don't untether.
I know better, but I need to see the end myself.
Whatever. I know the truth, but I don't want to see it.
Things would be better if we untethered now.
