Let ring
That’s the end of the song!  You did it!
Now the lyrics

Verse 1
Well I know the words
But I can’t really speak them
To you
And I hide all the pain
That I gained with my wisdom
From you
And I’m eaten alive
By what I hold inside
All the things that I live with
I can’t easily hide 
And I’m left here with nothing
Nothing to live for
But you

Chorus
It’s not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I carry it with me
Until I’m not alive

Verse 2
When you look at my face
Does it seem just as ugly
To you
And I can’t seem to erase
All the scars that I’ve lived with
From you
I’m so sick of this place
And this taste in my mouth
Cause of you I can’t figure
What I’m all about
And I’m left here with nothing
Nothing to live for
But you

Chorus
