It's amazing what the pain can do
Covered up and left to dry overnight
Seem so calm but if you stare me through
Not so tough, I'm choking all of the time

Even if you have my back
I don't feel the comfort I so deeply need
Sorry to tell you that it's worthless
But

Give me something I don't know if I can fight
I'll come out into the light
If I know it isn't right to hide

Give me something I don't know if I can heal
Doesn't matter how I feel
But it matters if I fail to try

Give me a choice that I don't dare to choose
Give me a chance, I can't afford to lose

Give me something I don't know if I can fight
And you'll see me in a new light

And I don't need a reason to hold
The door closed, all night, if I wanted to
Admitting I was scared, I was wrong, I was
Holding on to nothing but pretended to

Chemicals astray in my brain
Covered up, released by the rain
Building up the courage I've needed to say this
Despite this, know, know, know

Give me something I don't know if I can fight
I'll come out into the light
If I know it isn't right to hide

Give me something I don't know if I can heal
Doesn't matter how I feel
But it matters if I fail to try

Give me a choice that I don't dare to choose
Give me a chance, I can't afford to lose

Give me something I don't know if I can fight
And you'll see me in a new light

Tearing down the walls around me, I'm
Facing all the pain inside me, I'm
Calling all the shots, remind me, I'm
Checking all my losses for me, I'm

Building up the brave inside me, I'm
Struggling and straining for me, I'm
Reaching out to friends to find me, I
Need you more than ever right now, I'm

Leave it to me, to work myself up so much
Covered in sweat, like I was in such a rush
All of the better, to find me steeped in courage
So

Give me something I don't know if I can fight
I'll come out into the light
If I know it isn't right to hide

Give me something I don't know if I can heal
Doesn't matter how I feel
But it matters if I fail to try

Give me a choice that I don't dare to choose
Give me a chance, I can't afford to lose

Give me something I don't know if I can fight
And you'll see me in a new light

Tearing down the walls around me, I'm
Facing all the pain inside me, I'm
Calling all the shots, remind me, I'm
Checking all my losses for me, I'm

Building up the brave inside me, I'm
Struggling and straining for me, I'm
Reaching out to friends to find me, I'm
All of the better, you'll find me steeped deep in courage
