My heart is sick of being in chains
But I gotta have my suffering
You're just an empty cage
If you kill the bird
Where are those angels
When you need 'em
I got enough guilt
To start my own religion
And nothing I do is good enough for you
I've been everybody elses girl
So maybe now I'll be my own
From the shadows with a message for my heart
Sometimes I hear my voice,
I choke on my tears
Silent all these years
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
Since it's your turn to stand where I stand
I've forgotten how to dream my own dreams
Why do I need you to love me?
Why do I hope you'll understand
I'm left here in silence
There's pieces of me you've never seen
Obviously you don't know what I mean
I told you all my secrets
I couldn't understand
The big picture of the boy with the gun in his hand
I believed you
I'm alone again
as I taste my tears
I know I am still alive
When you are lonely I hear you say
I don't want to be a boy today
This is rock bottom
My hearts been hard to find
Living life like a dream
Sorrowful broken
With no direction
I've let myself down
But I didn't want to notice another time around
