Oh I am weary Oh I am torn And I try to smile And I swallow the thorns
Oo I am acid And broken down And I try to pretend I'm fine, on my own, on my own, on my own
How many times Can you stumble to the ground And get back up? No, don't you bother I'm fine
Oh the lights you adore They're burning me down And as hard as I try I can't hold your hand, hold your hand, hold your hand
Cause the chips on my shoulders They're dragging me down Like leaded wings They keep me shackled to the ground
And as hard as I try They don't lift me that high So I'll hide at the bottom And I'll rest for a while, for a while
Oh I am tired and blue And I can't pretend I can't pretend It's because of you
Oh the arrows they blow They're striking me down And as hard as I try I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound No I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound
