I settled down A twisted up frown Disguised as a smile, well You would have never known I had it all But not what I wanted Cause hope for me Was a place uncharted And overgrown You'd make your way in I'd resist you just like this You can't tell me to feel The truth never set me free So, I did it myself You can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out a little more More More More, more Open your eyes like I opened mine It's only the real world, A life you will never know Shifting your weight To throw off the pain Well You can ignore it But, only for so long You look like I did You resist me just like this You can't tell me to heal And, it hurts remembering How it felt to shut down You can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out a little more More More More, more The truth never set me free The truth never set me free The truth never set me free So, I'll do it myself You can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out Can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out More More More More, more
