Here

I'm not an expert at anything,

I'm young, I'm new, I'm naive.

I'm not the sharpest on the block

And I don't pretend to be.

I'm really not the most clever girl

I repeat back what I hear.

I'm not the brightest you'll ever meet,

Or even in my mirror.

I'll never know the inter-workings

Of infinity or beyond.

I'll never claim to have ever seen

A sky beyond our stars.

I can't say things that might impress

Or make you think I'm smart,

I won't string words together to only

Make you like my heart.

You may think your words are making sense

But you don't know what I see,

I hear the things you try to hide

There's no need to be fake around me.

I won't judge if you show me

Who you truly are

But pretend to be anyone else

And the bets are off by far.

I'm not the sharpest on the block,

nor do I claim to be.

But know no matter what I know,

You can't pull one over on me.

I won't judge, I swear, I really won't

If who you are is true

I won't waste time, just open up

And show me the real you.

No need to deal with subtleties

Masks or grey charades

Call off all your cavalries

And stop your fake parade

I want you without the make up

Or the blonde dye in your hair,

I want you in your day old sweats

Not you in Vanity Fair.

If I could paint a picture of

The girl I know you to be,

Then I would paint it plainly

Until you open up to me.

I swear I cannot judge you,

Because I'm not perfect myself.

I cannot try and sway you,

Because I'm not the best at this.

So be yourself or walk away

The choice is really yours.

But I'll be here today,

And tomorrow, every morn.
