Why do I live in the past and why should it hurt me to ask If someone can hear, I'm standing right here But this talking aloud cannot last I've never been one full of words, It's much better to hide in a smile With nothing to say, I'd just walk away Disappear to my room, and shake my fists Think things over and stare into the wall And all this time I feel like screaming Turn that key, let me out, let me out Let me hold onto someone Let me out, let me out Let me hold onto someone Inside it's so easy to breathe, but never so easy to leave And just when I try, the fence gets too high So I sleep with my head on my sleeve And I dream of us flying away to a place that is out of the way And there's somebody there who says I don't care Who you are, where you're from, what you need Or what you're thinking, we love you anyway
