lyrics

I'll show you my sweet and my soft
But it scares me
Sh*tless
I got gems of gold and garnet
To give;
Can you see it?
The sparkle of these cold stones have the warm colors
Of sunrise
Are rubies blood
And diamonds ice?
I'll pour you my heart, blood's blurting out and gushing.
It's rushing
Straight to my face as I try to embrace the rosacea.
I'm blushing
Am I to shed off all of the scales of this skin
Before you can?
If I breathe in,
I let out fire
I'll paint our blues
Into sapphire

And I will
Smile
If it makes you feel safe
Yeah I will
Smile
'Cause it makes me feel brave

Yeah I will smile, I'll
Smile, I will
Smile
To make you safe

I want you to love me but if you don't like what ya don't get,
I get it
I try way too hard, take it too far and it's too much.
Enough
Enough about me, what about you?
You look cute
And I like your boots
If I tune in
To your desires
We paint our blues
Into sapphire

And I will
Smile
If it makes you feel safe
Yeah I will
Smile
'Cause it makes me feel brave

There's no sense in both of us feeling afraid
With so much to show and so much to share
There's no sense in both of us feeling afraid
With so much to know and so
So much to
Say,
I will

Smile
If it makes you feel safe I will
Smile
'Cause it makes me feel brave,
I will
Smile
If it makes you feel safe.
I will

Smile, I'll
Smile, I will smile, to make you
Smile, I'll
Smile, I will smile
To make you safe
