There are so many parts
that I have hidden
and denied and lost
There are so many ways
that I have cut off my nose
to spite my face
There are so many colors
that I still try
to hide while I paint
And there are so many tunes
that I secretly sing as I wait
You come along
and invite these parts
out of hiding
This invitation is one
that I've stopped fighting
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
There were so many times
I thought I'd die
not being truly known
There've been so many
moments forever lonely
in my vocation
You come along
and celebrate each feeling
And there you are
all honor and inquiring
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
There was a day
where the trust that
was being asked of me
Required too much you see
To accept your generosity
And to know myself enough
to let you help me
Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I'm healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy
