lyrics

i'm scared to talk
because i've been taught
that my words can really wound
and i can't say what i am
can't say what i'm not
so don't ask me for the truth
because i can feel your eyes and your ears on me
and all i wanted was to feel your hands
she said its hard to know if we're happy
and i think i'm just beginning to understand

i lay down and let all the evil carry me away
i've given the most dangerous things
all the power to make me stay around
until they break me down

i'm starting to know just a little too well
what she's been talking about
because it rings a bell that i can't seem to ring out
she says her sadness is a sickness
and she can't seem to find the cure
i know that i meant to ask how i could help her
but i never found the words

i lay down and let all the evil carry me away
i've given the most dangerous things
all the power to make me stay around
until they break me down

but i keep having dreams that i can't remember and i can't seem to shake
but it seems a waste of all this darkness to be lying here awake
so can you tell me what it takes, what would you have me forsake
to keep these highs and lies alive
without breaking me down
without breaking us down

can't you see why i'm scared to talk
because i've been taught
that my words can really wound
and i can't say what i am
can't say what i'm not
so stop asking for the truth
