Everything I do surrounds these pieces of my life
That often change or maybe I've changed
Sometimes being happy can be self destructive
Even when you're sane
Or only insane
But don't bother waking me today

Here I am, I'm so young
I know I've been bitter, I've been jaded
I'm alone
Everyday, I bite my tongue
If you only knew my mind was full of razors
That cut you like a word if only sung
But this is my song
Yeah, this is my song

Now, I live everyday
Like they'll never be a last one
'Til they're gone and they're gone
And I'm too proud to beg for your attention
And your friendship and your time
So you can come and get it from now on

Here I am, I'm so young
I know I've been bitter, I've been jaded
I'm alone
Everyday, I bite my tongue
If you only knew my mind was full of razors
That cut you like a word if only sung
This is my song

It's my song

And it's you
It is you

Here I am, I'm so young
I know I've been bitter, I've been jaded
I'm alone
Everyday, I bite my tongue
If you only knew
My mind was full of razors
I'm not sure I can take it
I've nothing strong to hold to
I'm way too old to hate you
My mind is full of razors
That cut you like a word if only sung
But this is my song
