Boy, know your place
Lies do not become us
Real is more attractive than a slick and polished mask
Girl, dig down deep
I know there's more between us
There's bound to be a question
You're just dying for me to ask

If you can be honest
I can be too
If you'll take the first step
I'll follow you through
But no one wants to bleed
No one wants to hide
No one wants to hurt alone inside

Child, don't close your eyes
The truth contains much beauty
And though it scars your soul
It can heal the wounds it makes
You've been deceived to think
That pain is to be dreaded
And you've got nothing left
It'll give more than it takes

If you can't find a peace
I'll help find it for you
I don't know how
But one thing that's sure
Is I won't leave you now

If you can be honest
I can be too
If you take the first step
I'll follow you through
No one wants to bleed
No one wants to hide
No one wants to hurt alone inside
