May I?

It’s as if you felt me shaking
Beneath my lack of skin
I don’t know what to say
But you hear me from within

I know I have a history
That even you don’t know
It’s something that I like to keep
In the gallows down below

I know that when you found me
I was barley on my feet
But I bet you couldn’t see it
Though, I meant for no deceit

You take me still, for what I am
I’ll admit I’m still surprised
I wonder how long it will take
Before you to realize

Will you break my heart, my dear?
Will you push me to the ground?
Or will you help me rise above
The consecrated sound?

Don’t you see I’m scared, my dear
I’ve seen this all before
I don’t want to be the one
Huddled on a bathroom floor

But I truly think that your intent
Can’t be so cruel and senseless
I really think that all you want
Is just to leave me breathless

For every time I’m sad or scared
You seem to understand
And when you see it in my eyes
I notice you hold my hand

So, I hope I’m not too quick to trust
Despite what I think true
My dear, you mean so much to me
May I mean that much to you?
