lyrics

It's nobody's problem
You could say it belongs to me
Everybody's got one
I can deal with two or three
And I know I'm making you so worried
Well I'm not ready yet to change
I can't let it bother me now

Don't know how to say this
I got lost somewhere along the way
And all I'm saying is
I ain't gonna waste a single day
And I know I'm making you so worried
Wish I could promise I'm here to stay
I can't tell a lie to you now

Did you try to tell me what's going on
I can find my way back home
I just don't know where I've gone

Can you be the shoulder I cry on
Though it's taken me so long

I did it on purpose
I'm in control and I feel at home
If there's a lesson I'm learning it
Could've been normal but I'll never know
And I know I'm making you so worried
Well I've been feeling so alone
Tell me I should let my guard down

Did you try to tell me what's going on
I can find my way back home
I just don't know where I've gone

Can you be the shoulder I cry on
Though it's taken me so long

It's such a bitter pill to swallow
You don't wanna see me hurt myself
All of these rules I follow
What good am I if I can't even tell
When I've broken the first one

I keep a good safe distance
Wish I had more of what you need
I could move on but I'd miss it
In the way of who I could be
And I'm worried all the good you see in me
Means nothing after all
So easy to let it all go

Did you try to tell me what's going on
I can find my way back home
I just don't know where I've gone

Can you be the shoulder I cry on
Though it's taken me so long
