As I get to know you I let you see myself I try so hard to really open up I'm seeing you accept it And giving me yourself I love that we are never giving up As I sit here thinking I wonder if I might Have misrepresented myself just a bit I seem so complicated So much drama in the mix Another front, that maybe doesn't fit So I'll tell you a secret If you promise not to tell It's funny really, if you look that way I'm really very simple The rest is smoke and mirrors I want the same thing, each and every day I want a love to care for My every dream fulfilled The simple things, that every woman wants A family to cherish A man I can respect A reality, that in my dreams does haunt The things that I have gone through Were hard, but not that bad It was a lesson, to make me who I am I'm grateful for your presence And the comfort that you give I'm sure that you are part of God's great plan I guess what I am saying Is I just realized That using hurt to hide me, isn't right I was strong enough to make it And it's time to grow again No more excuses, no reason left to fight So now I am a woman Accepting my mistakes You should not feel, the pain that I have felt I drop this from my shoulders And boldy travel on Now dream and reality can gel
