Lyrics
Today I met
A part of myself
That's been hiding out in the back
This part of me that feeds on lonely
The part of me that keeps people back
I greeted her with open arms
I laid myself right down inside
And I found a new kind of quiet calm
I've got me a new way to feel alive
Cuz youuu, you see right through me
Yea, youuu let me be
I do not wish my lonely gone
I like to savor the space
I want to honor all the parts of me
That ask me to take time away
A wakefulness, immediate life
Away from the surface
Yea break through the ice
In the heat of the darkness I have found
I got me a new kind of common ground
Cuz youuu, you see right through me
Yea, youuu let me be
Forty done, forty to go
What will I do with my time
Well I'm able to walk, able to sing, able to give, able to cry
I want to make sure when I look back I smile
Cuz youuu, you see right through me
Yea, youuu let me be
Yea, youuu, you see right through me
Yea, youuu let me be
