Standard (EADGBE)

I’ve kept my mouth shut

 when I feel them around

 Kept them in a distance

So they can see me

 but not what’s on my mind

I’m convinced that they make fun of me

I’ve been told that noone knows me at all

Why should I bother?

I’m doing just fine behind my wall

Don’t come closer

Unloved unhurt, right?

Try waking up alone in your bed

So much space you feel trapped instead

Try live with yourself behind closed doors

There’s no such thing as safe alone

Oh God I feel so unknown

I’m hidden so well

Oh no I stumbled into his bedroom again

those thoughts are killing me in my sleep,

and yes I am drunk again

You say I don’t let anybody get close to me?

and that I can’t be reached

well, here I am baby

I can be available

I can be useful too

Don’t come closer

Unloved unhurt, right?

You should try waking up in a stranger’s bed

You have company but feel more lonely instead

Try spend a night with someone you’ve never met

deeper breath but not a word is said

Oh God I feel so unknown

I’m hidden so well

Don’t walk too proud

Don’t speak too loud

cause someone might hear you

you’ve got to be careful nowadays

there’s always someone waiting

for you to screw up

They want to hurt you when you’re broken

make fun of every you’ve spoken

make you think that you’re in love

and then they’ll leave you heartbroken

so don’t break my brick walls

not yet

forget me

Chorus
