Don't feel what you feel Just pretend it isn't real Don't you dare let it show Don't let them know Keep it concealed
And no one seems to hear the screams inside of you As you smile and say the words they want to hear 'Cause you're much too scared to
Open your heart and let the world see All that you are is all you should be Let yourself feel a sense of release Open your heart and set yourself free
Hide behind all your fear Close the blinds and disappear Keep your sins locked away If they knew, what would they say?
So you hate yourself and hide in who you ought to be And who you are you hesitate to show But you can let go—and
Chorus
Open your heart and let the world see All that you are is all you should be All that you have is all that you need Open your heart and set yourself free
