Lyrics
Close my eyes and I am seven being told I cannot play
I used to think I'd get to heaven if I stayed out of the way
Now I don't trust the world a fraction
It's let us down too many times
I have an insecure attachment style and my body isn't mine
You don't have to hide it, I know how it hurts
It's hard to describe it, you don't have the words
We still have to fight it, we still have to work
You don't have to hide it, I know how it hurts
(I know how it hurts)
Is it all mass distraction?
It's my body, it's my choice
It's just a different kind of playground now
Where they still don't hear my voice
Every time we think we're climbing
We get pushed back down the stairs
In every room the quiet killer
It's a feeling that's always there
You don't have to hide it, I know how it hurts
It's hard to describe it, you don't have the words
We still have to fight it, we still have to work
You don't have to hide it, I know how it hurts
(I know how it hurts)
And I'm screaming in my dream and no one turns around
It's a violent undercurrent, it's a crash without a sound
You don't have to hide it, I know how it hurts
It's hard to describe it, you don't have the words
We still have to fight it, we still have to work
You don't have to hide it, I know how it hurts
(I know how it hurts)
You don't have to hide it, I know how it hurts
(I know how it hurts)
