Living Alone Inside My Head

I wake to the mirror, but I don't say a word

The truth in my eyes is a song never heard

I paint on a smile, but the colors feel thin

Hiding the woman who's breathing within

There's lace in my drawer that no one will see

A voice in my heart that whispers to me

But walls have their ears, so I tread so light

My secrets are safe in the dark of the night

I'm living alone inside my head Talking to ghosts of the words unsaid

I hold my joy where no one goes

And dance in shadows nobody knows

All my questions echo back to me

Answers wrapped in my own mystery

This is the place I've come to dread

Living alone inside my head

I dream in perfumes and dresses of silk

But I drink my tea plain, I hide it from guilt

The world wouldn't understand my delight

So I fold it away in the folds of the night

The laughter I long for stays locked in my chest

My courage and fear in a constant test

I wish for a hand to hold through the storm

But I'm left to keep myself warm

I'm living alone inside my head

Talking to ghosts of the words unsaid

I hold my joy where no one goes

And dance in shadows nobody knows

All my questions echo back to me

Answers wrapped in my own mystery

This is the place I've come to dread

Living alone inside my head

If I could just let the truth spill out

Without the weight of fear or doubt

Maybe the light could finally stay

And chase these lonely thoughts away

I'm living alone inside my head

Talking to ghosts of the words unsaid

The girl in my heart still waits for the day

When she can come out and she can stay

But till that moment I'll make my bed

Living alone inside my head

I close my eyes, I'm not alone

At least in here I can be my own

I'm living alone inside my head
