about

WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
Vulnerability is about the danger of unconditional love in the wrong hands.

It’s about the cycle of abuse and manipulation.

It speaks to anyone who has ever been damaged by someone they trusted.

This is more than a tune and some words on paper. It’s about standing up and speaking out.

It’s honest. It’s personal. It’s vulnerable.

lyrics

LYRICS:
Vulnerability Starts with you and ends for me
I put myself out on the line
Left my armour far behind
and somewhere deep inside I knew
You’d see my vulnerability

‘Cause in the middle of the night
All I wanted was you
But in the middle of the night
You wanted someone to use
Someone to keep your body warm
Until the night pushed up the dawn

You took my vulnerability
As an opportunity
To take aim, crosshairs aligned
You took the shot, left me behind
Searching for you I reached out
But you watched on ignored my shouts

‘Cause in the middle of the night
All I wanted was you
But in the middle of the night
You wanted someone to use
Someone to keep your body warm
Until the night pushed up the dawn

You took all you could get
I gave you more as my heart bled
and as I fell you were there
You watched it all without a care
You watched me suffer, hit the ground
Sinking deeper as I drowned
You took my vulnerability
As an opportunity

‘Cause in the middle of the night
All I wanted was you
But in the middle of the night
You wanted someone to use
Someone to keep your body warm
Until the night pushed up the dawn
