Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heart's pounding loud
Closet door's cracked wide
These heels on the ground
Left a trail inside
She's in the kitchen
Got no plan tonight
One step then I'm frozen
Fear grips me tight
[Pre-Chorus]
Got the lace and the leather on
Wish I could just be gone
But I'm rooted to this floor
Frozen at the door
[Chorus]
How do I tell her
Stilettos and secrets
I'm more than her son
I'm the one she never sees
How do I tell her
This boy's on his knees
Scared of the judgment
Scared she won't believe
[Verse 2]
Back in the mirror
I loved what I saw
Paint on my eyelids
Standing ten feet tall
But now it's real life
Not a private screen
She's gonna see me
Broken at the seams
[Pre-Chorus]
Got the fishnets and the gloss on
Wish I could just move on
But I'm nailed into the floor
Right outside the door
[Chorus]
How do I tell her
Stilettos and secrets
I'm more than her son
I'm the one she never sees
How do I tell her
This boy's on his knees
Scared of the judgment
Scared she won't believe
[Bridge]
Click click click on the tile
Every step's a trial
Mom I'm still your child
Just a different style
Click click click on the tile
Let me see you smile
Or don't... I'll wait a while
[Breakdown]
(Go!)
Step back
Step back
I can't take it back
Step back
Step back
Hear the floorboards crack
[Chorus]
How do I tell her
Stilettos and secrets
I'm more than her son
I'm the one she never sees
How do I tell her
This boy's on his knees
Scared of the judgment
Scared she won't believe
