Words will never be enough

to show what's on my mind

There's nothing I could ever say

to comfort those behind

It isn't taken lightly

Those years I've always tried

but now's the time for action not for pride

 

(ch)

I know I've been a burden

although you'll disagree

but my mind's so fucking broken

that there's nothing left of me

 

Time has never passed me by

I have endured it all the way

I wanted to protect you from

the things that I have seen

The voices keep on whispering

I feel I live in dreams

I just can't keep on living in extremes

 

You said you'd never cause me pain

but I'm afraid that that's not true

Everyone elses' pain is

more heartbreaking to you

Everything I say drowns

it matters not a thing to you

all I feel is guilt if you know I feel the way I do

 

When I try to talk things through

there's always someone worse

Always someone feeling down

that need you by their side

I have to tell you I'm ok

else the guilt's too much to bear

The one person I always thought would care

 

You never protected me

I'm done protecting you
