Polaroid

You're too good for me,

I don't feel worthy.

I've told you this before,

You've always known the score.

Cos only you can give me,

The reassurance that I need.



I've told myself,

Though it don't seem to help,

Told myself,

Though it don't seem to help,

Cos only you can show me.



Can you see me?

For the shadow that I am.

Do you believe me?

When I'm as shallow as I am.

I'm waiting patiently,

For the Polaroid to take hold.

Then all my secrets,

They will unfold.



I only wanted someone,

To lift me from despair.

When I turn a corner,

I'd like you to be waiting there.

Cos only you can teach me,

The resources that I need.



I hold myself,

Though it don't seem to help.

Hold myself,

Though it don't seem to help,

Cos only you can show me.



Can you see me?

For the shadow that I am.

Do you believe me?

When I'm as shallow as I am.

I'm waiting patiently,

For the Polaroid to take hold.

Then all my secrets,

They will unfold.
