Fingers crossed behind my back
Cutting my heart, painting it black
Spinal cords shutting off as fears and hopes rise
Always trying to fit in
Never showing what's under my skin
A smile that never leaves 'cause my mouth's paralyzed
A bit of joy every now and then
But deep inside it's all the same
Always living myself through people who are not me
Open door, I stay outside
Choosing to be the guard and not the guide
Doing everything to avoid getting in
The clock is ticking, years and years pass
Still the same song plays in our hearts
Telling our friends it's all just okay
Crying when no one looks at our way
Cold hard world waiting out there
Dangers hiding everywhere
Who am I to let myself go through all of this?
So much things that I can lose
Try to protect myself, it's no use
Better do nothing than try to hit and miss
The clock is ticking, years and years pass
Still the same song plays in our hearts
Telling our friends it's all just fine
Keeping it inside
Please don't squeeze it out, it's mine.
