What would it mean
If you told me 'bout yourself
What rules would be violated
Would it mean you might open up
Would you feel desecrated
You see I think you live in fear
The fear you might actually want me
So you put up your walls
But in the end all it does is taunt me
You don’t fool me
What would it mean
If you talked about a boyfriend
And how he treated you like shit
Would it mean I'd get to know you any better
Would it mean we'd be close-knit
You see I think you're kinda scared
You're scared that you might lose me
Or that the tales you tell
Might not even bother to amuse me
What would it mean
If you told me about your quirks
Would it make you seem less than ideal
Would it mean you'd look kinda silly
And it might change just how I feel
You see I think you're being foolish
With all your misdirection
All I want to see is the real you
Not some tricked-up projection
