i can remember the very first time i cried
how i wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside
all of my memories, good and bad, that's passed
didn't even take the time to realize

staring at the cracks in the walls
'cause i'm waiting for it all to come to an end
still i curl up right under the bed 'cause it's takin' over my head
all over again

lying awake, watching the sunlight
how the birds will sing as i count the rings around my eyes
constantly pushing the world I know aside
i don't even feel the pain, i don't even want to try

i'm looking for a way to become
the person that I dreamt up when i was sixteen
nothing is ever enough, baby it ain't enough
for what it may seem

do you even know who you are?
