I've got scars because life cuts deep
The only way they'll heal is if I fall asleep
And I'm tryin to but my mind's spinning, stomach's dropping
There's a monster inside of me not in my closet
So, I sit alone. Mostly in silence
These voices I've known have told me be quiet
I'm all on my own. If only I could whisper in your ear
The important words I'd want you to hear is
Take it away: all of this pain
I repeatedly lose. Feel like there's nothing to gain
Give me a dream. Open my eyes
I just wanna live. I'm trying to fight
But I don't wanna be here
I've always wondered what it's like to be free
Sadly, all I know is what it's like to be me
But I'm okay. Someday, I'll escape from out this cage
But that doesn't mean right now I'm not afraid
Oh, I've cried so softly that no one's ever known
Wishing that these feelings matched the faces that I've shown, you hear me
There's gotta be a reason I'm alive
Could someone please just tell me why and
Take it away: all of this pain
I repeatedly lose. Feel like there's nothing to gain
Give me a dream. Open my eyes
I just wanna live. I'm trying to fight
But I don't wanna be here
