lyrics

I am myself something new
If I stare long enough, I transform
But there's no mirror here
And there's no fear here
There's no mirror here
And there's no fear here

I'm a lot less open than I think I am
I think I know myself better than most do
Most do
It's true I'm a little bit weary these days
But nothing feels better
Than when I'm myself with myself

I'm a lot less broken than I think I am
I think I know that look on your face better than you do
Most do
I can care a little more than I used to
But nothing feels better
Than when you're yourself with myself

Don't look at me that way
Yes, that way
Don't think of me that way
Yes, that way
Don't look at me that way
Yes, that way
Don't think of me that way
Yes, that way

I'm a lot less open than I think I am
I think I know myself better than most do
Most do
It's true I'm a little bit weary these days
But nothing feels better
Than when I'm myself with myself
