[Verse 1]
Sometimes I keep myself so closed off
And it's hard for me to break through
'Cause I just wanna keep my armor on
But it's hurting me in the end to fight you
[Pre-Chorus]
And then you have this sweet way of yours
Getting me to open, open, open up in time
And you say
And you say
[Chorus]
I'd like to read your mind
[Verse 2]
I fight so hard to welcome you
'Cause the world has taught me many, many things
But love and kindness is so new to me
Not used to not feeling pain
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Breakdown]
If you think you can do it
Highlight the lines in me you find so beautifully human
[Verse 3]
Like I said, sometimes I keep myself so closed off
And it's hard for you to break through
But I just really wanna keep my armor on
And it's hurting me in the end to fight you
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
I'd like to read your mind
(Would you read it like a book?
What story would my pages tell?)
