Laid Bare

Naked, stripped to the bone

There’s nowhere to hide

How could I have known

You’d see it all so clearly?

I should have stayed quiet

Silent as stone

And faced this alone

But now the words flow freely

 

I’m laid bare, no saving me

The truth is there for all to see

 

Naked, my soul is exposed

It’s all here on show

All pretence has flown

My eyes have told the story

I don’t want to feel shame

There’s no-one to blame

I’ll live with my flaws

They made me and they’ll break me

 

I’m laid bare, no saving me

The truth is there for all to see

I’m laid bare, they’re judging me

The truth is there for all to see

 

How could I have known

That I would reveal

The very thing I tried to conceal?

 

I’m laid bare, no saving me

The truth is there for all to see

All to see, they’re judging me

All to see, all to see
