I stood out in the cruelest glare
Hands on my heart like no one cared
The Sun beat down like it had scored
But I couldn’t hide anymore
Exposure burns you till you’re bare
Every secret stripped right there
Under the weight of every stare
But I'm alive I'm breathing air
I saw my shadow growing thin
My walls fell down I let them in
The louder whispers turned to roars
My story spilled across their floors
Exposure burns you till you’re bare
Every secret stripped right there
Under the weight of every stare
But I'm alive I'm breathing air
The dark was safe but it was small
I never learned to stand at all
So here I am torn open wide
At least I’ve got the truth on my side
Exposure burns you till you’re bare
Every secret stripped right there
Under the weight of every stare
But I'm alive I'm breathing air
