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
