Innocent
Paxton Lyrics

Do you know
Have you ever taken the time to learn about me and understand who I am?

Who I am?
Have you ever dug beneath the surface to learn about my true identity?

How I feel?
Have you ever taken the time to understand my emotions and how they shape my actions?

What’s inside of me?
Do you have any idea about the thoughts, ideas, and dreams that make me who I am?

And do you know
Have you ever thought about the bigger picture and looked towards the future?

Where I’m going?
Have you ever wondered about my plans for the future and where I see myself headed?

What do you see
When you look at me, what does my exterior convey to you?

When you look at me?
Do I appear to be someone with a bright future, or am I struggling to cope?

Can you explain the way I am?
Do you think you have the ability to accurately describe my thoughts, feelings, and personality?

I don’t think anybody can
I believe that my true essence is too complex and multifaceted to be described by anyone.

I’m complicated, crazy and
I'm an intricate and dynamic individual who doesn't always conform to social norms.

I don’t care
As someone comfortable in their own skin, I'm not fazed by what other people think of me.

Here I am
At this moment, I'm completely present and focused on the present situation.

I’m right here
I'm available and willing to engage with the people and situations around me.

Nothing to hide
I'm being transparent and truthful, without concealing any aspects of my true self.

Like glass
I'm just as see-through and easy to read, much like glass that is transparent or translucent in nature.

See through me
I'm confident that anyone who looks at me can quickly and easily understand what I'm all about.

I’m wide open like a little child
I'm open, vulnerable, and unguarded, just like a small child who is constantly learning and evolving.

Innocent
Like a child who has yet to experience the harsh realities of life, I approach everything with a sense of purity and naivety.

Can you tell
Are you able to recognize when something is wrong with me before I even say anything?

When I’m lonely?
Do you instinctively detect the feeling of deep emptiness within me, even when I don't articulate it?

When I’m afraid?
Are you able to sense and comprehend my deepest fears, even if I keep them hidden away?

Will you look away?
If I'm going through a tough time, will you show me the support and love that I need, or will you simply avert your gaze and ignore me?

And if I fall
In a moment of weakness or vulnerability, if I slip up and make mistakes, will you be there to offer me help and support?

Will you catch me
Will you be my safety net, waiting to catch me when I fall and prevent me from spiraling out of control?

In your arms?
Will you embrace me with love and warmth, providing me with the comfort that I so desperately need?

Will you keep me from harm?
If I ever find myself in harm's way, will you be there to protect me and keep me safe from harm?

I know I can be troublesome
I'm aware of the fact that I'm not a perfect person and that my actions can sometimes be frustrating or difficult to deal with.

There’s still so much I have to learn
As a constantly evolving human being, I recognize that there's always room for growth and improvement in my own life.

Give me the chance to make mistakes
I'm asking those around me to be patient with me as I navigate through life and make mistakes along the way.

I won’t break
I believe in my own strength and resilience, and I know that I can weather any storm that comes my way.

Like an innocent child
Similar to a little child who doesn't yet understand the complexities of this world, I refuse to let the difficulties of life sway my spirit or alter my ideals.

Innocent child
I still cling to the notion that there is untarnished beauty and purity in the world, even if it is buried beneath layers of brutality and harshness.

I’m wide open
I'm exposing all aspects of myself, including the ones that might be uncomfortable or unflattering.

Innocent child
I'm willing to approach each and every obstacle with the same kind of wonder and awe that a child does, even if the world around me is harsh and unforgiving.
