lyrics

your head's like mine
with a whole world inside
we get trapped in sometimes
have to be told we're alright

I know that you're tired
I know that it's work
putting out your own fires
I know that it hurts

I can be dumb
or I can be mean
so hard to live in
an emotion machine

used to feel so much
like a pin print to a touch
now I have to adjust
just to keep from getting crushed

if you feel like you've had enough
just remember I'm still here and I'm not that tough
