my jacket

i wear my jacket

whevere i may go

in case i need to cover up

so my scars don't show 

i'm so afraid to show the world me 

afraid of what they will do 

that they may laugh at me 

or say mean things 

or even judge me

for the things i could never say

i'm affriad to loose them

affraid they may leave

id remove my jacket slowly

to show you the real me 

but i would first 

like for you to understand

i need you except what you see 

and don't run away from me

so if your patient 

and close your eyes

i'll take my jacket off real slow

please understand how much it hurts to let the real me show

now my jackets off 

i feel naked and bare

and if you still love me for me

your my friend true as gold 

i need to save my jacket

keep it handy 

in case someone doesn't understand

so please protect me my dear friend

and thanks for loving me true

but please let me wear my jacket until i love me to
