There are some great lyrics in this song:
how much will they take before I'm empty
self-inflicted circus clown
shattered dreams, they follow me, they haunted me
hiding in my skin
and of course: Reveal me completely.
and: frailty
I agree. Well, maybe not whiny, but something that doesn't appeal to me. It's a beautiful song once it gets going, but I hear a Disney character in the beginning. Not a bad thing, but not a good fit for a pop CD.
