A Different Light

If I told you why I'm scared to share a piece of my heart
Would you laugh at me
Turn your back and leave
Say you can't commit to that part
And if I showed you a tape of every place I've been
Every high and low, every night alone
Would you want me to let you in

And if I shared with you my darkest times
Would you see it as a warning sign
Distort the view you had of me in mind
Break the pedestal that you've designed
Oh could you love me in a different light

And if I let you feel the edges of my broken parts
Would it cut your hands
Leave you bleeding there
Have you run before it gets too hard
And if I had you test me for my weakest spots
Would you take advantage of the damage
Excuse the reasons you won't stay for long

And if I shared with you my darkest times
Could you hear it and leave me behind
Drop the weight and move ahead in line
Forget me quick and go on being fine
Oh could you love me in a different light

Like broken records, oh it echoes in my head of him walking away
He's not you but was there truth in all the reasons he just couldn't stay
Yes I'm haunted by the ways he told me I needed to change
I couldn't fit the mold he made, I had to lose
Would you tell me these things too

When I share with you my darkest times
Or will you listen close and hold me tight
Tell me we don't have to say goodbye
Oh could you love me in a different light
