The Things I Withhold

I’m a little stressed
And a bit pressed for time
So spare me if I don’t know wrong from right
Or where I’ve been tonight
I’m a little cold
From all the things I withhold
Don’t burden me with things I can’t control
Don’t act like you’re so bold
Let’s just be honest,
I could never treat you the right way
Let’s just be honest
We will never be more than a cliché
Of light at the end of the day
I knew from the start
I couldn’t carry your heart
The weight is just too much
And frankly, I’ve given up
On supporting you supporting me, and my dreams
I can’t give you everything
Without bursting at the seams
I’m just a little stressed
And a bit pressed for time
So tell me wrong from right
And where to go tonight
Let’s just be honest,
I could never treat you the right way
Let’s just be honest
We will never be more than a cliché
Of light at the end of the day
I know I’m fine
But dammit I get scared too, sometimes.
I get worried,
I get lonely and I break
I’ve got better days ahead of me
You can’t keep me down
No, you won’t keep me down
I’m sick of pretending
That everything’s okay
I’m sick of staring from the corner
When I’ve got so much left to say
There are nights
When I have those doubts, just the same
I look to the sky
And wish the clouds would bring the rain
Then the sun came sweeping over me
Clearing up the sky, begging for release
I watched from far
Far away
Closed my eyes
But you know you can’t escape
The feeling that you get
On sunny days and starry nights
