[Verse 1] I wanted to laugh when you pressed I was ready to make a joke But my hand on the cocktail glass Was a tad too slow I started saying, I'm fine, I'm fine Then I had to look away Of course you saw right through it That's the price I'll have to pay [Pre-Chorus] I had my little evasion Just about ready to go A clever little misdirection Maybe redirect the flow Then that one look you got, you know the one Hit me right where I hide And I felt that urge to let it spill out Rising up inside [Chorus] Sorry, I got vulnerable Sorry, I got vulnerable My resistance cracked in the light Accidentally shared too much tonight Sorry, I got vulnerable Sorry, I got vulnerable You saw a little too much of the real me Afraid we don't know what it means [Verse 2] I like to keep my answers neat I try to keep my exits near I'm pretty good at makin' a joke of the mess To make the mess all disappear But you spoke my name in that certain way Like you meant to stay And the truth came out In the plainest, messiest way I started to say, "Don't worry." Could not manage a crooked grin As if that could somehow fix it now Now that you could see what was happening [Pre-Chorus] I'd had my little shields ready Ready to hold up in front But a couple smart lines wouldn't cut it Already too many cracks in the front You didn't laugh. You didn't say anything I started losing my shape And the broken pieces I tried to protect Tumbled out there by mistake [Chorus] Sorry, I got vulnerable Sorry, I got vulnerable My resistance cracked in the light Accidentally shared too much tonight Sorry, I got vulnerable Sorry, I got vulnerable You saw a little too much of the real me Now afraid we don't know what it means [Bridge] You can claim you won't call it weakness And you don't plan to make a scene I'm a realist enough to know how it works When a grown man lets that side be seen I'll recover my equilibrium shortly I will resume my mask of control But damn, I let you slip inside the perimeter. And catch one glimpse of the ragged edge of my soul [Final Chorus] Sorry, I got vulnerable Sorry, I got vulnerable My resistance cracked in the light Accidentally shared too much tonight Sorry, I got vulnerable Sorry, I got vulnerable You saw a little too much of the real me Afraid we don't know what it means Sorry, I got vulnerable Sorry, I got vulnerable If that's a crime, then I plead no contest And I wonder, where does it go from here? And I wonder, are we good? And I wonder, should I have gotten that vulnerable? You know, can I feel safe with you?
