Holding the pieces of myself together
Don’t wanna live like this forever
So much pressure’s building up
Beautiful girl in a life that’s rough

I keep screaming and reaching for you
But I can’t figure out what to do
All I ask is for a little attention
But I fear I’ll never have your affection

I feel like I’m watching us from outside
Yet I’m feeling all the pain inside
You rely too much on my sincerity
Playing dangerously close to insanity

Stumbling and falling down
But you’ll never see me frown
I won’t let you see that side of me
You’ll never see that I get weak

Want so bad for you to see
The struggle going on inside of me
We’re going through this cycle again
Is this ever gonna end

You know me so well, yet not at all
You’ve seen me when I’ve been so raw
But you just stare past me
Is this all we’ll ever come to be

One by one days go by
Growing angrier with this lie
Where you pretend everything’s okay
When we both have things to say
