Marie Digby - Unfold (Original Song)

I'm happy to have discovered this girl, Marie Digby's, music on youtube. I'm in LOVE with her and her music. Makes me feel...well her music describes how I feel. For a while, the subject of her song is what I've been stumbling over. Lately I want to unfold and open myself to new experiences in life and more than that, to new part of myself and love, even though it might mean being broken. I'm broken because I'm afraid of making mistakes..so I can't possibly build a new foundation to stand upon. I love God, but I also feel there's more to life that God wants me to experience life more fully. I'm really really afraid..trembling and scared and guarded. I also realized, to be touched doesn't mean I have to lose myself.

The lyrics are perfect. This is what Marie Digby says:
"This is a song I wrote recently called 'Unfold'.. it's probably the most personal song i've ever written . it came out of my frustration at my tendency to shut people out. Especially in love, i found myself always finding reasons to back away and i couldn't figure out why. This song is literally, my thinking process in trying to understand how i became this person and if i have the power to change it. here are the lyrics:

Unfold -

what i can remember
is alot like water
trickling down a page
of the most beautiful colors
i can't quite put my
finger down on the moment
that i became like ... this

you see, i'm the bravest girl
you will ever come to meet
and yet i shrink down to nothing
at the thought of someone
really seeing me
i think my heart is wrapped around
and tangled up in winding weeds

but i don't wanna go on living
being so afraid of showing
someone else my.. imperfections
even though my feet are trembling
and every word i say comes stumbling
i will bare it all.. watch me unfold
unfold

these hands that i hold
behind my back are
bound and broken by my own doing
and i can't feel
anything, anymore
i need a touch to remind me
i'm still real..

my soul
it's dying to be free
i can't live the rest of my life
so guarded
it's up to me to choose..
what kind of life i lead.

cause i don't wanna go on living
being so afraid of showing
someone else my.. imperfections
even though my feet are trembling
and every word i say comes stumbling
i will bare it all.. watch me unfold
unfold

i will allow someone to love me
i will allow someone to love me...

love me.. love me.."
