I keep my paint brush with me wherever I may go

In case I need to cover up so the real me don’t show

I’m so afraid to show you me afraid of what you’ll do

That you might laugh or say mean things I’m afraid that

I might lose you

I’d like to remove all my paint coats and show you the real me

I want you to understand that I need you to accept what you see

Please understand how much it hurts to reveal to let you see

The real me

Now my coats are stripped away I’m naked bare and cold

And if you still love me with my soul laid bare for the world to see

Then please understand this brush I must keep in hand even around

You who love me true you my family until the time that I can learn

To love the real me
