biting my tongue

Try to make everyone happy first

Jump through hoops like fancy needlework

I'm held together by a thread

Missing cause I always aim to please

Never ask for what I need

I keep putting me as second best

Empty my head use all my energy

Cause I want to impress so I'll play figurine

I'll bend backwards till my back hurts

And I'm

Biting my tongue

I'm going off the deep-end

And I'm tired of it all but

Awake enough to pretend

Biting my tongue

While they're making it about them

And I'm tired of it all

Can't be real with all these fake friends

Never let bridges burn

Giving never getting in return

I'm lying in the bed I've made

One sided friendship

Always leave it open ended

I'm sick of carrying the weight

Empty my head use all my energy

Cause I want to impress so I'll play figurine

I'll bend backwards till my back hurts

And I'm

Biting my tongue

I'm going off the deep-end

And I'm tired of it all but

Awake enough to pretend

Biting my tongue

While they're making it about them

And I'm tired of it all

Can't be real with all these fake friends

Biting my tongue

Don't ask me why

I never speak my mind

Holding my breath

Although it hurts

I swallow the words
