I only wanted the life I'd read about and dreamed.

Lost and broken, hopeless and lonely.
Smiling on the outside, and hurt beneath my skin.

My eyes are fading, my soul is bleeding.
I'll try to make it seem okay, but my faith is wearing thin.

So help me heal these wounds,
They've been open for way too long.
Help me fill this hole,
Even though this is not your fault,

I only wanted the life I'd read about and dreamed.
And now my mind is an open book,
And now my heart is an open wound,

So you come along,
I push you away,
Then kick and scream for you to stay cuz I need someone to help me,
Oh I need someone to help me, to help me heal these wounds,
They've been open for way too long.
Help me fill this hole even though this is not your fault,

And I need someone to help me sew them,
I need someone to help me fill them,
I need someone to help me close them up.
