Why do I tense up when you're around? Why does my heart beat faster? Why do I hold my breath? We can't be ourselves around you I am stuck I made the choice Birthdays pass Years roll by Anniversaries come and go Embarrassed to show my face No more thoughts of the white lace gown With my father by my side Going down the aisle Gave that dream up for you Now I have nightmares With red rolling clouds Silent screams Ancient trees Trying to get out I want to wake up and breathe This is not life This is not me
