I need a little time alone
A little peace and quiet
So I can coax myself out of my shell
Feels like the world is coming at me
So I wrap myself in armor
I'm in there but it's really hard to tell
You know those days
When nothing's good enough
That's just my way
Of putting up a front
I'm crying out for help
I need a safe space to melt
The iron all around me
Silence lets me be
Please don't think that I don't love you
When I ask for time apart
I'm like a fine wine that's sitting on a shelf
I want to give you all the best
Flavors of my heart
It just takes time to open up and be myself
You know those days
When nothing's good enough
That's just my way
Of putting up a front
I'm crying out for help
I need a safe space to melt
The iron all around me
Silence lets me be
I need a little time alone
A little peace and quiet
Just a little time alone
Silence lets me be
Silence sets me free
Silence
