Onion

You peel them off, one by one
My layers, like an onion
I try to hide, so you won't see
the hurt and damaged side of me

At first we laughed, and I felt smart
I had you from the very start
but ever since my first mistake
you knew my laughter it was fake

And now you've peeled into the core
my skin feel week, and hurt, and sore
my soul left voulnerable, you know
all though I won't admit it's so

Where do we go from where we are
my hands are tied, I can't move far
I know you want me to agree
and see me the way that you see me

And how do you expect me to
let go of all and just trust you
I can't, I won't, I'm not that brave
You won't get more than what I just gave
