lyrics
Open-eyed and self-assured,
I got a lot of something.
I know, I know, a dirty word,
but that’s the way my heart sings.
Wide awake and dreaming of
all the ways they left me
bare and cold and all alone
and waiting for that feeling.
But they don’t want to know.
They don’t want to know.
Someday I will say it all
and all the world will hear me.
That’s the way the story starts
and that’s the way it’s ending.
Then they’ll want to know.
Then they’ll want to know.
I got my heart open wide and I want to love.
I got my heart open wide and I want to love—
but, after all, here I am, just waking up.
I got a lot of something.
I know, I know, a dirty word,
but that’s the way my heart sings.
Wide awake and dreaming of
all the ways they left me
bare and cold and all alone
and waiting for that feeling.
But they don’t want to know.
They don’t want to know.
Someday I will say it all
and all the world will hear me.
That’s the way the story starts
and that’s the way it’s ending.
Then they’ll want to know.
Then they’ll want to know.
I got my heart open wide and I want to love.
I got my heart open wide and I want to love—
but, after all, here I am, just waking up.
