Undone
Every morning
Warning signs are there to greet me
Waking
Shaking
I don't dare to face it
Fight it
Try and right it
Cuz it always turns out wrong
Every feeling
Leaves me
Reeling from the fear of falling
Calling
Calling out for you
I need you here...
To help me calm back down again
And I'm not the way I was
When you first loved me
And I'm not the one
I've tried so hard to be
And I'm not the one
To stand and try to tell you
That everything
Will be alright with me
Cuz it's not ok
I won't be fine
This war I wage inside my mind
Feels like the whole wide world is closing in
And there's nowhere to run
No, it's not ok
I won't be fine
I've been down one too many times
No way to hide it anymore
I've come undone
----------------------------------
Everyone I see
Reflected in their eyes
It's always me
Hiding from the way I feel inside
And longing for the way it's always been
Every night alone
Sinking
As I slowly turn to stone
Terrified
I'm losing you, I see
I'll soon be on my own again
Cuz I'm not the one I was
When you first loved me
And I'm not the one
I've tried so hard to be
And I'm not one who can lie
And try to tell you
That everything
Will be alright with me
Cuz it's not ok
I won't be fine
This war is raging in my mind
Feels like world is closing in
And there is just nowhere to run
No, it's not ok
I won't be fine
I've been here one too many times
It's time to face it on my own
I've come undone
