Lyrics
with baited breath i turn towards you
and i breathe out the pain that's eatin me up inside
with baited breath i turn towards you
the silence tells me don't even try
and i said
never again
and i said
come back down
i can't face this on my own
come back down
i can't live this lie alone
tried to pretend that i
wanted more of this isolation
more of this wandering
more misled motion
looking into all of these faces
their eyes taking me so many places
that i have never seen
but they're all so beautiful to me
and this damage inside
is the only thing that i cna't hide anymore
and the tears that i cried
won't fix the way it was before
