Tell me what I'm supposed to feel
Fill my heart with all your fears
And I'll cast a line for my regrets
As I sink beneath your epithets
Tell me
How could I run with you holding me
How could I win when I lost myself
How could you breathe in my secrecy
How could you stay with me
Tell me what to sacrifice
Tell me this is paradise
As you sift the goodness from the bad
Firmly clutching what you thought you had
Tell me
How could I run with you holding me
How could I win when I lost myself
How could you breathe in my secrecy
How could you stay with me
Oh, I never meant to shut me in, shut me in, shut me
Oh, I never meant to shut me in, shut me in, shut me
And with the million door I tried
I finally found my battle cry
Call me selfish, stand aside
It's time for living my own life
Tell me
How could I run with you holding me
How could I win when I lost myself
How could you breathe in my secrecy
How could you stay with me
How could I run with you holding me
How could I win when I lost myself
How could you breathe in my secrecy
How could you stay with me
