Background pt. 2 - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I’m not supposed to feel this way, no

Supposed to stay straight and narrow

Supposed to be strong and brave

But the world’s so big and scary

And I think it’s against me

Think it’s tryna test me

Find it so depressing, it’s so messy

But on the surface I just gotta stay clean, no

But when I’m with you I don’t care

Honey, let's go there

Show me all that we could be, if we were free

If I said I loved you and blew my cover

I’d lose it all

So I just hide it, hide it in the background

Do my best to hold it under

Don’t wanna blow the world asunder

Keep it underneath my skin

But I’m bursting when you’re near me

And oh, I wanna tell you

But I don’t wanna scare you

And if you don’t believe me, if you leave me

I don’t know what I’d do

But when I’m with you I don’t care

Honey, let's go there

Show me all that we could be, if we were free

If I said I loved you and blew my cover

I’d lose it all

So I just hide it, hide it in the background

When I’m with you I can’t

Hold back how I feel

Why should I hide from you?

When I’m with you I don’t care

Honey, let’s go there

Show me all that we could be, if we were free

I’m done hiding from the truth, hiding it from you

I'm breaking my walls down
