no one should ever feel the way that i feel now
a walking open wound, a trophy display of bruises
and i don't believe that i'm getting any better

waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
and i'm thinking awful things
pretty sure that few would notice

so, don't be a liar
don't say that everything's working when everything's broken.

i don't want to have to build this, i don't want to have to fit in
i don't want to have to need someone but i do.

i don't want to have to eat to fill a hole but i do.

i don't want to have to be angry at you

i don't want to feel so insecure
i don't want to have to write this to explain, still, i do

this feels better than nothing at all.

i've been walking around all day thinking
i think i have a problem, i think i think too much
i've been taught to hold back my tears and avoid them

i know the distance is a factor but i stretch as often as i can
my goal is to reach your hands anyday now
please, don't blame me for trying to fix this one last time
i have a hard time as it is

don't act like you don't know me, it's still me, i never changed
i'll be here when you come back.
