The Reckless Letter Interlude (Live on the Life Support Tour) Madison Beer

What a shame to think you could shrink me
You were always terrified, weren't you?
We often tend to cage the things that we're afraid of and don't understand
That's why you locked up my heart
Thinking it was yours to lock up when truly, it never was
You played me for a fool
Thought of me as too sensitive, too soft
But a heart hardened is a heart wasted, isn't it?
It took losing you to make me realize that
And I missed you, I really, really missed you
But was I mourning your absence or my own?
Had I lost you or had I lost myself amidst it all
Softness is a weapon too you know?
I now know that's why you kept me hidden
You were greedy
Everyone always has been
I was a flower the world left to wither in its darkness
But what a shame to view a heart as something so easily broken and so difficult to repair
And what a relief it was when I found out the cage you built around me was mine to unlock
All along I held the keys, I always have
This is a letter I'll never send to you because that chapter's over now
So I'd figure I'll write a love letter to myself instead
And this time around I promise, I will not be reckless with my heart
