Vulnerable

We live in a world where we don't say how we're feeling
We keep it bottled up, that's all we're ever taught
But I wanna open up to you and let you in
Is that too much to ask?
You sit here on your couch and say nothing

But how you doing today?
"I'm great, I'm great"
But you say that every time
And I know you're fucking lying
How you doing today?
"I'm great", you say again
But I see it in your eyes
And I know you're not alright
(And I know you're not alright)

But being vulnerable is not a bad thing
But being vulnerable is not a bad thing
It's not a bad thing to open up
'Cause being vulnerable is not a bad thing
'Cause being vulnerable is not a bad thing
Being vulnerable is not a bad thing
It's not a bad thing to open up

(It's not a bad thing)
(It's not a bad thing)
It's not a bad thing to open up
(It's not a bad thing)
(It's not a bad thing)

What a feeling hopeful not hopeless
I'm fearless
Wasn't always like that
I remember the day when I sat down to explain my pain to you
And all you did was point the blame to me
Ashamed to be so vulnerable
Honed in on like a vulture, torn me apart than I lost it all

While I rebuilt what I thought was gone for a lifetime, not perfect
But I'm perfectly certain that person was hurting
Wondered if there's something more about this pain I fall in
This is my story
Your redemption to every moment I felt opposed to
Open if not, gates will let it all out like I flow in this verse
Wouldn't give anything that I have to reverse what I've learned
There were days that I struggled waking and feeling not worth it
Labeled me damaged, but that's who I am and you put in the hurt

(It's not a bad thing)
(It's not a bad thing)
It's not a bad thing to open up
It's not a bad thing
It's not a bad thing
It's not a bad thing
It's not a bad thing
It's not a bad thing to open up

It's not a bad thing
It's not a bad thing
It's not a bad thing to open up
