We Can Talk

We can talk for hours about nothing and everything at the same time
   were so different but so similar
       I am what she looks like on the inside
         The quiet confused girl she tries to hide
           She is the loud outspoken confident and bold me
               the me that I keep inside cause 
                  i'm afraid people will judge me
                 We balance each other out 
                   My bold side which is my true side
                    persuades and feeds her scared girl side
                    So she can go on being what people are used to
                      she saves me from unleashing the truth
                                      The girl I really am
                               She helps me contain myself
                                   I help her maintain her image  
                                    I'm the only one who knows 
                                       how scared she really is
                                      she is the only one who knows 
                                        how explosive I really can be 
                                                  We can talk
                                               about anything 
                                              Cause she knows my inner girl 
                                                   I'm best friends with her inner world
                                                      and together we clash
                                                          Her bold
                                                             me quiet
                                                            and were fine
