Marvin

Marvin, I see the armor that you wear

You carry your ego like a crown up there

A heavy shield to keep the world outside

But I know the lonely places where you hide

You think you gotta be the untouchable man

Sticking to a surface-level plan

But as your friend, I gotta speak the truth

You're running from the things that demand the real you

'Cause sex is not everything, it's not the whole story

You don't always need the late-night glory

There is so much more to a true connection

Than hiding your heart behind physical affection

You don't gotta prove your worth in the dark

Just let somebody in to see your heart

I still remember watching you walking away

Leaving all the heavy words you couldn't say

Your pride took the wheel and you turned your back

Leaving the moment fading to black

You thought that the distance would keep you so strong

But Marvin, I'm telling you, that's where you're wrong

You trade in your feelings for a touch in the night

But waking up empty never feels right

'Cause sex is not everything, it's not the whole story

You don't always need the late-night glory

There is so much more to a true connection

Than hiding your heart behind physical affection

You don't gotta prove your worth in the dark

Just let somebody in to see your heart

So strip away the ego, lay it on the floor

You don't have to play these games anymore

Intimacy is a word that you misunderstand

It's staying in the room, just friend to friend

Don't walk away when the quiet gets deep

There's a piece of your soul that you gotta keep

'Cause sex is not everything, it's not the whole story

You don't always need the late-night glory

There is so much more to a true connection

Than hiding your heart behind physical affection

You don't gotta prove your worth in the dark

Marvin, just stay, and open your heart
