I'm bound up and broken
 
 Caught out in the open
 
 Tape over my mouth with so much left unsaid
 
  
  Like gathering thunder
 
 We spoke over each other
 
 Now strangers tied to opposite sides of the bed
  
 
 You say that I'm careless
 
 Unkind and defensive
 
 When all I want is someone there to hold me close
  
 
 I don't mean to be heartless
 
 I'm trying my hardest
 
 To think before I speak, but I'm voiceless
  
 
 I'll bide my time
 
 Watch the hurricane blow by
 
 And the clouds run dry
 
 I'll bite my tongue
 
 And hold on 'til my hands go numb
 
 Or the quiet comes
  
 
 Soaked through to my skin
 
 But I don't feel any different
 
 I'm a shivering mess of doubt and recklessness
  
 
 I know it's my fault
 
 I'm stuck out here in the cold
 
 But it's hard letting go of what I wish you'd said
  
 
 Cause you told me I'm careless
 
 Unkind and defensive
 
 When all I want is someone there to hold me close
  
 
 I'll bide my time
 
 Watch the hurricane blow by
 
 And the clouds run dry
 
 I'll bite my tongue
 
 And hold on 'til my hands go numb
 
 Or the quiet comes
  
 
 Don't tell me I'm broken
 
 As I'm blowing out to sea
 
 Don't leave me high and dry
 
 It's swirling over me
 
 As I spin in slow motion
 
 A tide of chattering teeth
 
 Unravel and unwind
  
 
 White-knuckled, nails torn from grasping the boards as the storm rages inside of me
 
 Opened my mouth, tried to force something out, but I'm just too exhausted to speak
  
 
 I'll bide my time
 
 Watch the hurricane blow by
 
 And the clouds run dry
 
 I'll bite my tongue
 
 And hold on 'til my hands go numb
 
 Or the quiet comes
  
 
 I'll bide my time
 
 Watch the hurricane blow by
 
 And the clouds run dry
 
 I'll bite my tongue
 
 And hold on 'til my hands go numb
 
 Or the quiet comes
