Forget Walking In My Shoes Try Five Minutes In My Mind

I live inside my mind Always left behind Feeling so different from them I’m so lost within this sin I hate the silence of my bed I hate the thoughts inside my head I swear to God there’s a monster inside Reminding me of every regret I cannot hide Won’t you stare into my eyes Can’t you see within these lies I try to live as if I were fine If only you could see within my mind Within my mind People see what they want to see So you live how you need to be While the demons are tearing you apart Can’t remember the last time you felt your heart Oh what you’d give To lead the life’s they live Oh what you’d do If anyone really saw you They live their lives so smooth While you can barely move Still you smile Trying to hold on for just a little while Won’t you stare into my eyes Can’t you see within these lies I try to live as if I were fine If only you could see within my mind Within my mind Memories haunt the depths of my soul Loneliness still leaves an endless hole Love left so far behind Happiness so far out of mind When I try to speak out They shut me out They tell me I’ll be fine It’s all in my mind Won’t you stare into my eyes Can’t you see within these lies I try to live as if I were fine If only you could see within my mind Within my mind I hate the silence of my bed I hate the thoughts inside my head I swear to God there’s a monster inside Reminding me of every regret I cannot hide Won’t you stare into my eyes Can’t you see within these lies I try to live as if I were fine If only you could see within my mind Within my mind
