Windows - Amanda Somerville

So many windows

I’m standing naked there inside

All eyes can see me

And there’s no way to pull the blinds

I can’t deny what I’ve confessed

I cannot run from how I feel

So be the shelter in my strife

Come remind me I’m alive

You stop the bleeding

And kiss away the tears that fall

Light up the shadows

And help me climb over my walls

And I’m not sure how much you know

How much your light has helped me grow

And you’re the only one

Turn off the light

Bring on the night

I need to be unseen

I can’t escape the wind biting its way in

Through all of my windows

It’s never easy

I know, with all that I demand

It’s not a given

All the burden you withstand

But I’m so grateful that you do

And maybe this is overdue

I know it’s true, my Love

Turn off the light

Bring on the night

I need to be unseen

I can’t escape the wind biting its way in

Through all of my windows again

Don’t trust your eyes

Don’t read my plight

Don’t ask me what it means

My blessing and my bane

It calls me out by name

Carving out new windows

So many windows

They leave me naked here inside

All eyes can see me

Through my windows
