When you hear those people speak to you
Do you listen hard with all you've got
Or is all you've got just all for naught
Sometimes I hear all the things you've said
But not with pleasure it's so strange
All I hear is all the same
They won't focus on the good in me
They tantalize my thirst for stardom
They don't know I'm not listening
Someone said my love was blistering
They packed away all my best motives
Fed me to the wolves and silenced me
Each time I tried to compromise
And I've been bleeding from the inside
I've been bleeding from the inside
I've been bleeding from the inside
But now I'm opening my eyes
Now I'm opening my eyes
I've been opening my eyes
I've been opening my eyes
Loneliness is just state of mind
If you feel compelled to dial numbers
Stay inside you'll be just fine
Friends and family sing my song
It seems you were right all along
The nights that I spent in my bedroom
Made me fear you, now I hear you
Now I know what you've been telling me
And I've been bleeding from the inside
I've been bleeding from the inside
I've been bleeding from the inside
Now I'm opening my eyes
I've been opening my eyes
I've been opening my eyes
