Still But A Girl

I SEE THE LAYERS YOU HAVE HIDDEN
FAR FROM THIS WORLD
IN SPITE OF YOUR ARMOUR
YOU ARE STILL BUT A GIRL
PAIN FROM YOUR PAST
IS WHAT YOU HIDE FROM NOW
YOU'VE BUILT AN ELABORATE DISQUISE
JUST MANAGED SOMEHOW
IN MOMENTS OF SILENCE
YOU PANIC
SOMETIMES SHOOK TO THE CORE
BEFORE ANYONE KNOCKED
YOU'VE LOCKED YOUR HEART'S ONLY DOOR
I SEE THE LAYERS YOU HAVE HIDDEN
FAR FROM THIS WORLD
IN SPITE OF YOUR ARMOUR
YOU ARE STILL BUT A GIRL
I LINGER HERE CONFUSED
AS I STARE
I SEE THE WORLDS YOU DANCE IN
TO GET CLOSER DO I DARE
IN MANY WAYS
WE ARE THE SAME
OUR INSECURITIES OUR DAMAGED HEARTS
WE SCRAMBLE TO HIDE
WE SCRAMBLE TO TAME
IT IS HERE THAT I CAUTIOUSLY WATCH
BECAUSE OF YOUR ARMOUR
I FEAR ONLY TO BE A NOTCH
I'LL WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE WEARY
FROM CARRYING YOUR HEAVY LOAD
WAITING UNTIL YOU'RE MINE
ONLY MINE TO HOLD
I SEE THE LAYERS YOU HAVE HIDDEN
FAR FROM THIS WORLD
IN SPITE OF YOUR ARMOUR
YOU ARE STILL BUT A GIRL
