Digging

Locked up inside
Trying to keep my past secret
Trying to keep the true me hidden away from prying eyes
But you just won't let me hide away
You keep digging and digging
Trying to uncover every little secret
Trying to unlock my heart with your swagger and charm
But I'm not sure i can let you in for real
I'm too afraid of rejection
I'm too afraid you'll reject me the moment you know everything
I'm too afraid that once you see the real me you'll walk away
So I try to keep all my secrets hidden away
I'll keep my past to myself
Keep the true me silent
Even though you keep trying to bring it out
I'll try to pretend I don't care
I'll try to act as if I don't hear their words
I'll try to hide the pain
But you won't let me live like that
You just keep digging
Trying to find out everything
Trying to uncover my past that I've managed to keep secret from everyone else
I don't see why you want to know
I don't see what you think you would gain
If you knew it all
If you could see the real me
I guess you think it would bring us closer
But all your questions are just driving me away
Can't you just be happy that I care about you?
Can't you just love the me you see?
If you really loved me you'd just let it go
You would be content with the me I let you see
You wouldn't mind not knowing everything
If you really love me
You wouldn't keep asking me awkward questions
Questions that I really don't want to answer
Questions about things you really don't need to know
If you really loved me you'd stop digging
You'd leave it alone
