In My Own Skin

Maybe someday the rain will slow down
And I'll get both of my feet back on the ground
I never knew silence could be this loud
Someone please just slow things down
These people close to me
God, why are they close to me?
I always fail to see
What they seem to see in me
My heart is aching under these fluorescent lights
Oh God, I hate the nights

Oh why
Am I so afraid of happiness inside?
I just want to close my eyes
In peace for one night

Tell those around me
"Say your prayers and run"
You don't want to be here
When the lightning strikes the sun
And still I beg you
I don't want to be alone
Please don't leave me in the cold

Oh why
Am I so afraid of happiness inside?
I just want to close my eyes
In peace for one night
Oh why
Am I so afraid of love in my heart?
When they tell me
"I love you"
I think there's no way that they do
Oh why?

Maybe someday the rain will slow down
And I'll learn to live
In my own skin
In my own town
I never knew silence could be this loud
Someone please
Please let me out
Slow things down
Slow things down

Oh why
Am I so afraid of happiness inside?
I just want to close my eyes
In peace for one night
Oh why
Am I so afraid of love in my heart?
When they tell me
"I love you"
I think there's no way that they do
Oh why?

Maybe someday the rain will slow down
