lyrics

Well I'm running again
25 years, and I'm looking back
On a life I should have never began
But anyone could let themselves get lost
I won't suffer this
Do I deserve anything that I get?
Doubt permeates all bliss
You try to cope when you feel hopeless

Am I alone?
Well, I've been down
Everyone thinks they can save me
I'm up and down
So give a little space for me to breathe and know
When you find me lying on the floor
I'm all right, yeah, I've been here before

Could I take a break now?
Try a little to see a way
But I'm lost in a breakdown
You get tired when people say
Maybe you could try
And get over yourself, this time
But that's not good advice
For someone who's stuck inside their head

You're not alone
Well, I've been down
Everyone thinks they can save me
I'm up and down
So give a little space for me to breathe and know
When you find me lying on the floor
I'm all right, yeah, I've been here before

Maybe you can love what you can't see
It's hard to tell what that means to me
Trust me, you can tell when to tell yourself a lie
It's all right
Breaking the chain of fragile knots
A derailed train of fractured thoughts
Maybe I can't love what I can't see
It's only me
It's only me
