Honey, do you want to know what I think? I put my heart on the emotional shelf Trying to hide away from myself Every feeling locked inside Buried deep where no one can find Walls are rising, brick by brick Trying hard not to feel so sick But these memories, they won't let go They whisper secrets only I know On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm hiding all my pain, trying to save myself On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm lost inside the pieces that I couldn't help On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm breaking down again but I can't ask for help On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm trying to survive, but I'm stuck with myself And I'm falling, and I'm falling Deeper in this lonely well And I'm breaking, and I'm breaking Underneath my emotional shelf Every tear that I never showed Every fear I never told Keeps me chained inside my mind Looking for a way to find Pieces scattered on the floor Of a heart that can't take more I keep pretending I'm okay But inside, I fade away On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm hiding all my pain, trying to save myself On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm lost inside the pieces that I couldn't help On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm breaking down again but I can't ask for help On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm trying to survive, but I'm stuck with myself And I'm falling, and I'm falling Deeper in this lonely well And I'm breaking, and I'm breaking Underneath my emotional shelf Maybe one day I'll take it down Face the ghosts that haunt this town Till then, I'm just holding on To the shelf where I belong On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm hiding all my pain, trying to save myself On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm lost inside the pieces that I couldn't help On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm breaking down again but I can't ask for help On my emotional shelf, on my emotional shelf I'm trying to survive, but I'm stuck with myself And I'm falling, and I'm falling Deeper in this lonely well And I'm breaking, and I'm breaking Underneath my emotional shelf
