Embrace Me

Sometimes I feel, oh I feel like a clown
I play my part
Be who I'm supposed to be
No cracks until the curtain comes down
Can you see beyond my smile?

I'm acting happy but I trick myself
I laugh with you
But I cannot laugh, no more
So I pretend to be someone else
While I'm breaking down inside

Embrace me

Here I stand the strong and brilliant one
Ready for the show
They have come to see
Feel like I'm staring down a loaded gun
I'm trapped in this pantomime

Embrace me
In your arms
Safe from the harm

Oh I feel so weary and small
Adrift in this creaking world
I need you
I don't give up 'cos when it's time
I'll leave the ocean behind
And fly to you
