Lyrics
why don't you climb down
from that pedestal
and I'll show you
how to live
you've been standing there so long
you have nothing left to give
spent your whole life
staring from within
Afraid to be yourself
afraid you may not shine
afraid to let it go
afraid that you will fall
and don't you know
you're nobody's friend
why don't you come down
out of your gray sky
and I'll show you
how to love
you've been crying for so long
when will it be enough
spent your whole life drowning
have you had enough
Afraid to be yourself....
why don't you come in
out of the rain
and I'll help you
find a smile
you've been broken for so long
embracing all that pain
spent your whole life
learning to pretend
Afraid to be yourself...
why don't you let me take down all the clouds
and I'll show you somewhere you can breathe
open your box and climb up to the surface
and there you will see what I mean
open your eyes and you'll see
I love you
