lyrics

I can see it in your eyes
The way it twists and turns inside
And I know the way it feels
When it hurts to even breathe
Remember you were young and bright
Wouldn't let the clouds fill up your sky
Made your faith in mystery
Never took it too seriously
You can't hide from their eyes
You can't seem to disguise
It won't help to confide
They can't hold your insides

You're not the only one

You wish everything was clear
But as you climb they'll hold your feet
Direct you towards their own desires
And your world will turn to fire
Don't you hide when you've sunk
Can get worse, gets rough
Believe me, they won't bluff
They'll shut you, out of hope
You're not the only one,
Who will turn around in fear
Smile as you are in tears
Let it go, and show the way you feel
