[Intro | Tense Energy | Close Chest Delivery | Nylon Guitar Syncopation + Piano Pickup] I practiced every safer line Then watched them fail me one by one [Verse 1 | Driving Energy | Precise Chest Phrasing | Bossa Guitar Chops + Tight Kick] There's a cup beside the kitchen sink Your lipstick fading at the rim You ask me what I'm thinking now I almost give the usual spin I could say nothing's really wrong I could smile and let it pass But every word I swallow down Leaves something heavier than last [Pre-Chorus | Building Energy | Lifted Mix Delivery | Piano Climb + Shaker Push] So here it comes without defense No clever turn, no second sense If saying it can change our lives Then let it change them here tonight [Chorus | High Energy | Open Belt + Stacked Doubles | Full Drums + Nylon Guitar Drive] Hearts laid bare Nothing between what I feel and what I say Hearts laid bare No careful version made to keep you here If truth can cost me everything I'll pay it all and still be clear Hearts laid bare I'd rather lose you knowing I was real [Verse 2 | Driving Energy | Precise Chest Phrasing | Bass Pulse + Bossa Guitar Chops] I never told you why I freeze When someone gets too close to me I learned to leave before I'm left And call that independence, neatly But you can see it in my hands The way they tighten when you ask So take the answer as it is Without the armor, without the mask [Pre-Chorus | Building Energy | Lifted Mix Delivery | Piano Climb + Shaker Push] So here it comes without defense No clever turn, no second sense If saying it can change our lives Then let it change them here tonight [Chorus | High Energy | Open Belt + Stacked Doubles | Full Drums + Nylon Guitar Drive] Hearts laid bare Nothing between what I feel and what I say Hearts laid bare No careful version made to keep you here If truth can cost me everything I'll pay it all and still be clear Hearts laid bare I'd rather lose you knowing I was real [Bridge | Pulled-Back Energy | Intimate Head-Mix Delivery | Piano Pulse + Hand Percussion] I love you more than I can manage I need you more than I admit I'm scared you'll see the whole of me And decide you can't live with it But fear has had enough of me It doesn't get another year I'm putting every answer down And leaving only what is here [Chorus | Peak Energy | Full Belt + Layered Harmony | Full Drums + Piano Octaves] Hearts laid bare Nothing between what I feel and what I say Hearts laid bare No careful version made to make you stay If truth can cost me everything Then let the bill arrive today Hearts laid bare Whatever happens, I won't look away [Outro | Resolving Energy | Close Chest Delivery | Nylon Guitar Return + Piano Cadence] No safer line No practiced part You wanted truth Here is my heart [End]
