[Verse 1]
Take me for who I am
Or you'll never know
Things you'll want to understand
Like a picture donning parts
Some things take time to see
A similarity then differences unraveling
Show me who you are
And I'll let you in
And if you should see some scars
Remember that each of us have something like

[Chorus]
I'm not that shy
I'm not too scared
I'm a little afraid
But isn't everybody?
And I'm not there yet
I'm unprepared
I'm an unexpected hero
If you're giving this
And if I'm dying
And I want to hide
Sometimes I close my eyes
And pretend to fly
And it works for me
And it wakes me, wakes me every time
And it wakes me, wakes me every time
[Verse 2]
Don't judge me for who I'm not
And we'll get along
Give me all that you got
And somehow we'll belong
I could sleep at night
If I knew that you were
Always staying 'round

[Chorus]
I'm not that shy
I'm not too scared
I'm a little afraid
But isn't everybody?
And I'm not there yet
I'm unprepared
I'm an unexpected hero
If you're giving this
And if I'm dying
And I want to hide
Sometimes I close my eyes
And pretend to fly
'Cause it works for me
And it wakes me, wakes me every time
And it wakes me, wakes me every time
[Bridge]
If I hang my heart out on the line
Don't leave it there for the wind to dry
Take me for who I am
And in a little while
I'll be wrapped around your fingers

[Chorus]
I'm not that shy
I'm not too scared
I'm a little afraid
But isn't everybody?
And I'm not there yet
I'm unprepared
I'm an unexpected hero
If you're giving this
And you and I
Will we want to hide?
Sometimes we close our eyes
And begin to fly

[Outro]
And you wake me
Wake me every time
