It's like a needle in my side
A fire of pain is burning through me
Stretching the limits of restraint
Emotion bottled up and strapped around me
The fist is clenched as in a fight
The jawbone pulses with blood
Eyelids flick and sweat starts to bead
I'm cut so deep but I just can't bleed
It's not something you wear on your sleeve
No tears for people to see
But the hurt that comes from inside
Is damaging me
This is no conflict of interest
These are no day to day scenes
These are just isolated incidents
With measures of time in between
We try to balance on wires
We try to live between the lines
Our love is just caution with errors
In a lonely morning meeting sometimes
It's not something you wear on your sleeve
No tears for people to see
But the hurt that comes from inside
Is damaging me
I'm barefoot walking on razors
A surface leaving no traces
Where have I been?
Ooh yeah
I'm open to your persuasion
Each time a new situation
Bears down on me
Bears down on me
It's not something you wear on your sleeve
No tears for people to see
But the hurt that comes from inside
Is damaging me
We try to balance on wires
We try to live between the lines
We try to balance on wires
We try to live between the lines
