Open Up Lyrics by UMI

Introspection

2020

[Verse 1]
I shouldn't lie to you (Lie to you)
It wouldn't be nice to you (Nice to you)
If I wasn't being myself yeah
Why I'm so scared of myself, yeah?
I couldn't fight the truth (Yeah, yeah)
I wasn't getting over you  (No, no)
I shouldn't run from the bad times
I should just work on my bad side

[Refrain]
Don’t let go, of what's in front of me
The pain in my soul, is making it hard to breathe
And I should've known that I'm still the older me
See my journey onward, sojourn home

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to break your trust (Trust)
I didn't mean to make this tough (Tough)
I'm scared I'm gonna pass you up (You up)
I really wanna show you love (You love)
And maybe who I be is enough (Is enough)
And maybe all I need is a hug (Is a hug)
Know I never mean to fuck it up (Fuck it up)
Maybe I just need to open up

[Verse 2]
No more goodbye
I'm scared to make you cry
Can't look you in the eye (In the eye)
I prayed for peace of mind (Yeah, yeah)
And I shouldn't lie (To you)
I’m scared this isn't right (No use)
I ain't used to nice (I ain't used to nice)
I ain't used to nice guys (I ain't used to nice guys)

[Refrain]
Don’t let go, of what's in front of me
The pain in my soul, is making it hard to breathe
And I should've known that I'm still the older me
See my journey onward, sojourn home

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to break your trust (Trust)
I didn't mean to make this tough (I didn't mean to make this tough)
I'm scared I'm gonna pass you up (You up)
I really wanna show you love (Really wanna, I really wanna)
And maybe who I be is enough (Is enough)
And maybe all I need is a hug (Is a hug)
Know I never mean to fuck it up (I never mean to fuck it up)
Maybe I just need to open up (I just need to open up)

[Outro]
Open up
I really wanna open up for you
I really wanna open up for you
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah
