I love this song!

I am understood?~ Lyrics by Matthew Thiesen of Relient K
Sometimes it's embarrasing
To talk to you
To hold a conversation with
The only One
Who sees right through
This version of myself I try
To hide behind.
I'll bury my face
Because my disgrace
Will leave me terrified.

And sometimes, I'm so thankful for
Your loyalty
Your love, regardless of
The mistakes I make, will spoil me.
My confidence, is in a sense,
The gift you've given me.
And I'm satisfied,
To realize,
You're all I'll ever need.

You looked into my life
And never stopped
And you're thinking all my thoughts
Are so simple,
But so beautiful.
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know,
I am understood.

And sometimes I spend my time
Just trying to escape.
I work so hard, so desperately
in an attempt to create space.
'Cause I want distance
From the utmost important thing I know.
I see your love,
Then turn my back,
And I beg for you to go.

You're the only one
Who understands,
Completely.
You're the only one who knows me
Yet still loves me
Completely.

And sometimes, the place I'm at
Is at a loss for words.
If I think of something worthy,
I know that it's already yours.
And through the times I've faded
And you've outlined me again,
You've just patiently waited
To bring me back and then...

You looked into my life
And never stopped
And you're thinking all my thoughts
Are so simple,
But so beautiful.
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know,
I am understood.

The noise has broken my defense,
Let me embrace salvation!
Your voice has broken my defense,
Let me embrace salvation!
