The ones I love surrounding me
Friends and family
I wanna cry
Feeling everything I've felt
Should've asked for help
But I can't even try
Their hands upon my shoulders
They feel so crushing
They tell me to relax
But that's not easy for me
I'm racing now for cover
Hope that they won't see the real me
Oh, I can't fight this feeling
It brings me to my knees and
These thoughts they won't let go of me
I'm bruised without a beating
I'm cut without bleeding
Ripping out your hearts to get free
It's not your fault I'm not being
The things that you've needed
At least you can say you tried
And if I stop making sense
When my pain gets too intense
It's just swallowing me up inside
But how would you know?
I don't want to share these thoughts
They're the fog that floats
Inside my head
A voice I don't wanna hear
Whispers in my ear
"This could be the end"
I guess I'll take a chance
And deal with this on my own
Don't wanna make you think
I'm not the person you've known
Don't take it too hard
I'll keep you outside for the time
Oh, I can't fight this feeling
It brings me to my knees and
These thoughts they won't let go of me
I'm bruised without a beating
I'm cut without bleeding
Ripping out your hearts to get free
It's not your fault I'm not being
The things that you've needed
At least you can say you tried
And if I stop making sense
When my pain gets too intense
It's just swallowing me up inside
But how would you know?
Oh, I can't fight this feeling
It brings me to my knees and
These thoughts they won't let go of me
I'm bruised without a beating
I'm cut without bleeding
Ripping out your hearts to get free
It's not your fault I'm not being
The things that you've needed
At least you can say you tried
And if I stop making sense
When my pain gets too intense
It's just swallowing me up inside
But how would you know?
