And so the knife comes down...another curtain falls
|
And no one hears the sound...and no one takes the call
|
From me and my anxiety...locked up in these four walls
|
|
I come to you now I'm alone...with my defenses down
|
I tell you everything I need...I get down on the ground
|
I always know that when I go...that I'll be back again
|
|
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
|
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
|
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
|
|
If I could listen to my mind...and keep the world outside my door...
|
But time has opened up my eyes and shown me somethin' more
|
Now all I want is to be free...and get up off the floor
|
|
Why can't you look into my heart...
|
Why can't you ever let me know
|
You're always takin' me apart...you're never lettin' go
|
There's always somethin' on your mind...
|
This ain't reality
|
|
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
|
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
|
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
|
|
Why you be so hard
|
Why you be so hard
|
Why you be so hard
|
|
I know it's gonna take some time...for me to straighten out my head
|
To say what's on my mind...to hear those words I said
|
And while I'm tryin' to learn to feel...
|
You keep on tellin' me...
|
|
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
|
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
|
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
|
Shocked straight...
|
Shocked straight...
|
Shocked straight...when you gonna let me in
|
Why you be so hard
|
Why you be so hard
|
Why you be so hard
|
