Something has been stirring somewhere deep inside
In the pit of my stomach burns what I cannot hide
The secrets are so noisy, and I beg them to be quiet
As they slide off my tongue into your ears tonight
I am ...
A little less than what you might've hoped
Often unable to cope with what I've been given
I've somehow risen from the ashes to fly
This is what I whisper tonight
Something has been killing me piece by piece
Shredding my faith in all that once gave me release
A painful past that would bring anyone to his knees
Will you let me share all of this with you, please?
I am ...
A little harder to handle than most
Often like a ghost I like to hide from the crowds
But sometimes I'm loud when I feel alive
This is what I whisper tonight
I hear you breathing in the darkness and I think
That love must feel like this
Something has been searching for its light
Feeling its way through my skin toward the open night
It reduces me to tears, I try but I cannot hide
The desire I have for you to tell me it's alright
That I am ...
A little empty but so full of love
I try to rise above all the shit I've been through
I just want to be the sparkle in your eyes
This is what I whisper tonight
