I show you what you need to see And nothing more
At least I got the decency To shut the door
You said that you want all of me But I know you’re a liar
Every time I let you in I start to hear them tires
* In the middle of the night In the back of my mind Like a chill running down my neck
So, I bite my tongue And I lie in self-defense
** Ask me how I been I’ll say I’m great But under my skin I’m not ok
Honey I been scared to death Looking in the mirror
Just another day In the kingdom of fear
Ask me how it goes I’ll say I’m fine But if you look close I ain’t doing alright
Honey I been scared to death Wipe away the tears
Just another day in the kingdom of fear The kingdom of fear
Maybe I been building walls Too high to climb
I hope you know it's not your fault It’s by design
I know I been a lot of things But I won’t be a burden
I won’t be that person That calls you when I’m hurting
( * , ** )
Oh, been hurting Worse than bad I need someone who’s got my back
Oh, I been hurting Worse than bad I need someone but if you
