Oh, I am weary
Oh, I am torn
And I try to smile
And I swallow the thorns

Ooh, 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
