Can I learn to trust myself?

Can I learn to love myself?

I shouldn't focus on the past

I shouldn't shut the door so fast

I put myself inside a box

And tell myself the box stays locked

I ignore the things that scare me

And pretend that my routines will change me

But sometimes I think that I took too long

Putting pieces into their places

The screens stay blank when I turn them on

Walling me into smaller spaces

But I'm still out here

Bet you didn't even know

I've been waiting

In the blue fluorescent glow

Did I get to know the others?

Did I learn their favorite colors?

What if they don't even know me?

What if they don't even like me?

I put the thoughts inside a box

And tell myself the box stays locked

I deny myself affection just to

Try and spare myself rejection

And sometimes I think that I took too long

Putting pieces into their places

The screens stay blank when I turn them on

Walling me into smaller spaces

But I'm still out here

Bet you didn't even know

I've been waiting

In the blue fluorescent glow

I'm still out here

Bet you didn't even know

I've been waiting

In the blue fluorescent glow

I'm still out here

I'm still out here
