Peel and peel, let me be true
'Cause there's something I want to tell you
It's buried inside; no one's got a clue
It can be sweet; sometimes it's hard to chew
Talk to me and help me to find
I've been constantly searching for the signs
All of my life, their love's what I mind
I look at my skin; I forget to be kind
I've pushed myself to embrace
All their hopes and their dreams
Seal them all for the gleams
I drove myself to the rim
But I know now the flow of the stream
I must hear the voice in my heart
And I must stay true even when it's hard
You know all of these years, everything I reject
I'm alright living with my defects
Now I must stop looking at the peels
And start listening to what I feel
Peel and peel, say "I love you"
I'm so scared of love; am I worthy too?
Can I spill it out, all I've been through?
If I close my eyes, will I see something new?
Down and in, it might be a mess
There are scars I'm afraid to confess
Each and every lie, that's caused me distress
The truth always wins; I was blind to its price
I've pushed myself to embrace
All their hopes and their dreams
Seal them all for the gleams
I drove myself to the rim
But I know now the flow of the stream
I must love what I find inside
And I must stay true 'cause I know it's right
You know all of the time I keep fighting for peace
My own fear's what I need to release
Now I must stop looking at the peels
And start listening to what I feel
I promise you I will be happy and whole, living my life
I won't be wasting my years
Covering holes in my heart
Keeping peels on my skin
I must hear the voice in my heart
And I must stay true even when it's hard
You know all of these years, everything I reject
I'm alright living with my defects, now
I must love what I find inside
And I must stay true 'cause I know it's right
You know all of the time I keep fighting for peace
My own fear's what I need to release
Now I must stop looking at the peels
And start listening to what I feel
