You eat me up alive when you’re starving for attention
Sometimes the mirror lies showing your reflection
There are no excuses as you tear yourself apart
You tie yourself in knots with the strings that tug at your heart
(But) Show me when you turn away
That everything you feel floats on all the words we say
‘Cuz in the end we only see what we believe
Oh, Oh, you gotta show me
You pull the curtains closed when you need (see?) the light
Sometimes you lose sight when looking for sign
There no looking back when you can’t move on
You tell yourself it’s not you - it’s everyone
(But) Show me when you turn away
That everything you feel floats on all the words we say
‘Cuz in the end we only see what we believe
Oh, Oh, you gotta show me
Break the chains
Break the ties
Break the truth inside the lies
Hold on tight
Hold on now
Hold on even when you don’t know how
You eat me up alive when you’re starving for attention
Sometimes the mirror lies showing your reflection
There are no excuses as you tear yourself apart
You tie yourself in knots with the strings that tug at your heart
(But) Show me when you turn away
That everything you feel floats on all the words we say
‘Cuz in the end we only see what we believe
Oh, Oh, you gotta show me
