i'm not so tough

i can almost read your mind

it's running fast

out of control

you're afraid of what you'll find

if you get too close

you imagine i don't care

you see walls that just aren't there

you think i'm too strong to let you in

well

that's just not fair

i'm not so tough

i'll call your bluff

and let you see a side of me

that wants you here and cries real tears

and needs someone to love

i'm not so tough

i know that you've been hurt before

well

so have i what can you do

that doesn't mean you close the door

so stop blamin' me

i don't blame you

i'm not some ghost from your past

the one who tore your heart in half

i'm not her

it's not my fault you're holding on to that
