(Intro / Cold Hook) This is as far as I go Hold me close, don’t let it show (Verse 1) Shout at me, let me drown in your voice You make me high, then you bring me down Let’s not pretend that I have a choice Your sweat and joy will never be my crown (Pre-Chorus) Hide my tears, hide every mistake Shame and guilt, and my broken mind I’m so tired of being this fake Strike where I stand, pay me in kind (Chorus) Stuck in the middle of everybody This is as far as I go What I feel, I can tell nobody Hold me close, don’t let it show (Verse 2) All I’m left with is wishful thinking Antidepressants won’t make me thrive Let’s not pretend, I know I’m sinking This is my wall, will you keep me alive? (Pre-Chorus) Hide my tears, hide every mistake Shame and guilt, and my broken mind I’m so tired of being this fake Strike where I stand, pay me in kind (Chorus) Stuck in the middle of everybody This is as far as I go What I feel, I can tell nobody Hold me close, don’t let it show (Bridge) I dream of lying against your heart Even though you will rip me apart (Final Chorus) Stuck in the middle of everybody This is as far as I go What I feel, I can tell nobody Hold me close, don’t let it show (Outro) This is as far as I go Hold me close, don’t let it show
