[Verse 1]
Never said that it was perfect
Better yet, I never said nothin'
Always dancin' round the subject
I'd avoid at all costs
Runnin' miles just to forget
And I couldn't let myself admit the truth
Comin' clean was just a prospect
And I'd never pull through
[Pre-Chorus]
You have turned me into a hermit crab
I'm so damn ashamed of the way I let you treat me
And now that I've become your punching bag
I don't wanna talk, don't wanna feel, you see
You're keepin' me
[Chorus]
Bottled up, bottled up
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
Bottled up, bottled up
Bottled up, bottled up
Oh, you keep my pain in a jar
Had me sealed up from the start
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
(Bottled up, bottled up)
[Verse 2]
Never said that I was stable
But then again, never said the opposite
Rather steer clear of a label
Than speak the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
You have turned me into a hermit crab
I'm so damn ashamed of the way I let you treat me
And now that I've become your punching bag
I don't wanna talk, don't wanna feel, you see
You're keepin' me
[Chorus]
Bottled up, bottled up
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
Bottled up, bottled up
Bottled up, bottled up
Oh, you keep my pain in a jar
Had me sealed up from the start
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
(Bottled up, bottled up)
[Bridge]
You keep my pain in a jar
Had me sealed up from the start
You're keeping me
[Chorus]
Bottled up, bottled up
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
Bottled up, bottled up
Bottled up, bottled up
Oh, you keep my pain in a jar
Had me sealed up from the start
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
(Bottled up, bottled up)
