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?
