I'm missing' everything for me, When I keep my eyes closed it hides me from reality. Gotta learn to take a chance in my life; And I'm waiting each night to feel if I'm fi'n try.
Start searchin' for a piece of me in the end. Everything I touch crumbles down and I can't pretend What I'm doing's ever gonna be right and I'm locked up inside. I'm taking it a second at a time.
And I just want to let you know. (That I'm doin' this for your good. Everything alright is telling me that I think I should.) That I don't want to let you go. (But it's jumbled up in my head. I can seem to get it together. I think I'm lyin' dead.)
Chorus: I don't know if I could really say that I'm gonna love you. And I don't know if I can be that way; I don't wanna hurt you. So I try to be alone, and I try to be on my own. And it's takin' away from me the only thing I' ever need.
Time is tickin', yet I stay in the dark. And I'm holdin' back; I don't wanna give up my heart. I'm switching tracks. Why is this the way that I feel? I'm rushin' 'n crushin' them and then I lose appeal.
I gotta give it all up; I gotta learn. When it starts fallin' in, I can't let it burn. Can't let it crumble down into a bunch of pieces. Trouble is all around and I cannot beat it.
I think I let it get to me. I speak before I think and that is why I'm not free. Is chaos living in my life for eternity? My soul is open and I'm choking without unity. The fear has now got to go. I'm breaking down, my mind has gotta take control. Now I want you to come sand ave me.
Repeat chorus
I don't wanna live without you; at times I feel I'm not. All the things I wish I could do; I struggle with my fight. And I'm tryin' now to be all about; at times I always feel. So I keep it all for me: the only thing I know.
