Can You Fill Me Up?

[broadwaylullaby]

Do you see into the depths of my soul?
Do you know how much I care?
Do you see how much I reach out
Simply just to know you're there?

Do you see how I cry
Somewhere deep on the inside,
Do you see through my mask
and see the truth that lies behind?

Do you hold the key?
The key that will open my heart,
only one will fit...
do you have that one?

I'm holding my heart out
Yet clutching it too,
Wondering if at some moment,
You'll reach out your hand,
Tell me you love me,
And show me the world
I long to know

I'm empty inside
Won't you please come and fill me?
I ask you to come to me,
For I am too scared to run to you
I know I ask much,
But it's only because I'm frightened.

If you were to be in the depths of my soul,
You'd see the brave face I wear,
You'd see right to the heart of me,
And maybe, just maybe, you'd understand.

I struggle so much and try so hard,
but continue to feel as if I'm not enough
Won't you please come and fill me up?
