If weakness is a wound That no one wants to speak of The cool is just how far we have to fall And I am not immune I only want to be loved But I feel safe behind the firewall Can I loose my need to impress If you want the truth, I need to confess I'm not alright I'm broken inside, broken inside And all I go through It leads me to you, it leads me to you Burn away the pride Bring me to my weakness Until everything I hide behind is gone And when I'm open wide With nothing left to cling to Only you are there to lead me on 'Cause honestly, I'm not that strong I'm not alright I'm broken inside, broken inside And all I go through It leads me to you, it leads me to you And I move, and I move, and I move, closer to you And I move, and I move, and I move, closer to you And I move, and I move, and I move, closer to you And I move, and I move, and I move I'm not alright I'm broken inside, broken inside Broken inside, broken inside And all I go through Leads me to you, leads me to you I'm not alright, I'm not alright, I'm not alright, that's why I need you
