Shirtless
Ben Lee

It's not just my body
It's where I keep my heart
And that's mostly its difference
From any other part
And you wonder why I hide it like I do
And you wonder why I treat it like I do
Sure I want a suntan
Even though it'll hurt

But I can't take the vulnerability
When I take off my shirt
And it's not cause something someday you once took
And it's really not to do with how I look
I'm just so scared you'll see the true me
Or worse maybe right through me
If I would walk around without a shirt
If I go half naked
You'll see my heart is vacant

You'll take my heart if I take off my shirt
If I take off my shirt
I know that they all do it on 90210
But I'm not secure and handsome
And you're not a bimbo
And I can't believe you think that I'm a freak
Just cause I won't swim with you at the beach

I'm just so scared you'll see the true me
Or worse maybe right through me
If I would walk around without a shirt
If I go half naked
You'll see my heart is vacant
You'll take my heart if I take off my shirt
If I take off my
If I take off my
If I take off my shirt

I guess that I don't trust you
I think that you'll attack
You'll suck the life out of me
Like a vampire bat
See the way I work out what to do
See the way I shift the blame to you
I'm just so scared you'll see the true me
Or worse maybe right through me

If I would walk around without a shirt
If I go half naked
You'll see my heart is vacant
You'll take my heart if I take off my shirt
If I take off my
If I take off my
If I take off my shirt
