Between the Lines

Locked away my life
Threw the key
I don't let nobody in
Cus I'm too scared of what I might let out
Swimmin in the deep end
Feelin like I gotta pretend
That I've been doin' fine
Just don't read between the lines

Livin' on the surface
Dealin with my burdens
Walkin in a circle
I'm nervous
To open up the curtain
I'm cryin out
I need you now
More than ever
I don't wanna surrender
But every time I lose my temper
I keep fallin to the pressure
Yeah

This mask is getting heavy
This charade is getting messy
And I know that on the outside
I seem like a great guy
Don't believe my lies
This is all a disguise
And I'm terrified
To let it out
So all I can do is shout

On the inside I'm falling apart
Walkin round this graveyard
In my head
Where all my thoughts lay to rest
Wish everything was fine
But that's just a lie
Masquerade
Every day
Cus I don't wanna show
My true colors
Don't wanna lose my friends
So I hide my problems beneath the covers
Try to keep a smile on my face
But I don't recognize this place
Oh I need some space
Blastin off to outer space
I don't like thoughts in my head
Yeah, you can go ahead
I'll be right behind you
Once I figure this out
Till then all I can do is shout
I'm cryin out
I need you now
More than ever
I don't wanna surrender
But every time I lose my temper
I keep fallin to the pressure
Yeah
