Open Me Carefully

If you rip me open
And you see what’s underneath
All the vows i’ve broken
And all the shattered bits of me
Every lie i’ve spoken
Every heart i left to bleed
Laid out in the open
Do you think you’d run from me

Open me carefully
Carefully, carefully

This is my love letter
It’s addressed to you from me
Once it’s been delivered
Don’t you send it back to me
Will you taste and savor
Hang on to every word you read
And will you decipher
All the fragments in between

Baby all i really want
Baby all i wanna find
Is someone to hold me down
Someone i can call mine
Its so hard to be this soft
It's so cruel to be this kind
Do i have to spell it out?
I need someone who reads between the lines

If you play with fire
I could be your gasoline
Let the flames grow higher
Do you want to feel the heat?
Every dying ember
Each old flame inside of me
Burning at my center
Till someone can smother me
