Poker Face

Here I sit, my cards are on the table
Face up so you can see where I stand
I know that you and I aren't able
To breathe the same air or even touch hands

I never meant to be so truthful
Yet it poured on out of me
In this life I'm completely grateful
To meet someone who sees like I see

I wish we could bridge this distance
That there could be more than this thing
This invisble strong proof of existence
We're bound together forever by this string

You say it scares you to hurt me
God, I plead that line be true
Cause you can never truly feel or see
Me going crazy or what I'd do

For I would die if I never knew you
The small important connected part of me
I die a little daily not to see this through
It's a part of me I never allowed you to see

Yet my cards are face up on this table
My desperate heart is on the line
My heart is there while my feet are unable
In this life I no longer want to be blind
