lyrics

i spent so many days in shame, i can't escape
it's getting harder every day to express the pain
i have a pen but its color is not right
it used to be blue but it's gotta be black as the night
i was your mule, but ran out of fuel

throwing me off balance
longing for acceptance
you're just making sure
i'll never sing the words
each and every moment
you have been my owner
never left your home
'cause i'd be alone

it's like my heart's been split in two
and i no longer know what to do
traded my sorrow for the guilt
but all i really want is that my soul will be still
still there are some days i think of
what it's like waking up to find that
i have been wrong all this time
you were my king and i was just a kid

throwing me off balance
longing for acceptance
you're just making sure
i'll never sing the words
we stay under covers
you have been my lover
let the world spin round
'cause we're underground
