There’s another world inside of me that you may never see
There’s secrets in this life that I can’t hide
Somewhere in this darkness there’s a light that I can’t find
Maybe it’s too far away, maybe I’m just blind
Maybe I’m just blind
So hold me when I’m here, right me when I’m wrong
Hold me when I’m scared and love me when I’m gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I’ll never let you down even if I could
I’d give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I’m here, right me when I’m wrong
You can hold me when I’m scared you won’t always be there
So love me when I’m gone, love me when I’m gone
When your education x-ray cannot see under my skin
I won’t tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends
And roaming through this darkness I’m alive but I’m alone
Part of me is fighting this but part of me is gone
So hold me when I’m here, right me when I’m wrong
Hold me when I’m scared and love me when I’m gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I’ll never let you down even if I could
I’d give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I’m here, right me when I’m wrong
You can hold me when I’m scared, you won’t always be there
So love me when I’m gone
Maybe I’m just blind
So hold me when I’m here, right me when I’m wrong
Hold me when I’m scared and love me when I’m gone
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I’ll never let you down even if I could
I’d give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I’m here, right me when I’m wrong
You can hold me when I’m scared, you won’t always be there
So love me when I’m gone
Love me when I’m gone, whoa
Love me when I’m gone, when I’m gone
When I’m gone, when I’m gone
