I dont know what Im doing here
Picking myself up just to fall back down
Running away from all the people I thought I knew
Can you see the pain inside of me
Self destruction that sneaks up from behind
If I let you in, you might tear me apart
But I just cant seem to keep you out
I feel at home surrounded by darkness
The answers never come to me
Questions only outline my sorrow
Im wasting all my time thinking about the failure I have become
The disadvantage is mine
This disease, I carry with me
A tear forms in the corner of my eye
I'll trust you with my life
But I won't share my thoughts
My perspective of this is fading away
Im losing touch with my inner being
Dont waste your time
But please dont ever leave
I dont know what I want from you
And I dont know what you see in me
Dont waste your time
But please dont ever leave
I cant let you in
Im scared youll tear me apart
Youre saving my life
But youre stealing my heart
