Am I Understood?

Sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to you

to hold a conversation with the only one who sees

right through

This version of myself

I try to hide behind

I'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me

terrified

And sometimes I'm so thankful for your loyalty

your love regardless of the mistakes I make will spoil

me

My confidence is, in a sense, a gift you've given me

and I'm satisfied to realize you're all I'll ever

need

You looked into my life

and never stopped

and you're thinking all my thoughts

are so simple but so beautiful

and you recite my words right back to me

Before I even speak

you let me know, I am understood

And sometimes I spend my time

Just trying to escape

I work so hard, so desperately, in an attempt to

create space

cause I want distance from the utmost important thing

I know

I see your love, then turn my back, and beg for you to

go

You looked into my life

and never stopped

and you're thinking all my thoughts

are so simple but so beautiful

and you recite my words right back to me

Before I even speak

you let me know, I am understood

You're the only one who understands

completely

You're the only one who knows me yet still loves

completely

And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words

If I think of something worthy, I know that it's

already yours

and through the times I've faded and you've outlined

me again

You've just patiently waited, to bring me back and

then

You looked into my life

and never stopped

and you're thinking all my thoughts

are so simple but so beautiful

and you recite my words right back to me

before I even speak

you let me know, I am understood

The noise has broken my defense

Let me embrace salvaction

Your voice has broken my defense

Let me embrace salvation (3x)

Your voice has broken my defense

let me embrace salvation

let me embrace

let me embrace salvation
