You love me, say I light up the room And I make you happy like you never knew I know you need me to be okay So when you ask me, I'll say I'm doin' great And I wish I had the guts to tell you The case of me Outside, there's a party Inside, I'm at war And I wonder how I'll ever get through this Outside, I'll be dancin' Inside, I'm on the floor And I wonder if you knew about this mess Would you still say I'm the best? My mother, she hates seeing me down She tells me to smile more so I smile as I drown And I'm sorry, I'm not easy and light But I'm tired of shinin' so bright And I wish I had the guts to show you What lies beneath Outside, there's a party Inside, I'm at war And I wonder how I'll ever get through this Outside, I'll be dancin' Inside, I'm on the floor And I wonder if you knew about this mess Would you still say I'm the best? Can you tell my laugh is out of tune That my tears dry in the bathroom? Would it be too hard for you to take? Do you love me enough to let me break? Just let me break Outside, there's a party Inside, I'm at war And I wonder how I'll ever get through this Outside, I'll be dancing Inside, I'm on the floor And I wonder if you knew about this mess If I showed you everything If I face you and confess Would you still say I'm the best?
