Four-Lettered Words: Not What You Think



These emotions I carry, made of four-lettered words
I want to let go, let it fly like the birds
I love how it holds me, but hate all the strings
It's pulling me down, drowns me under these things
The promises I've made, the ones I can't keep
They're all catching up, now I'm going in deep
I can't get out, they're holding me down
I love all the tricks, but I don't want to drown
All the hearts that I've broken, all the things that I took
I want to get out, but I don't want to look
I'm broken and hurt, but I hold it all in
I don't want your pity, it feels like a sin
On the outside I act, I look happy and free
But on the inside I hate all these feelings in me
I don't want to do this, but I don't have much choice
I'll let it all out, let them all hear my voice
I'd open my mouth, but the words won't come out
And I really feel hurt, I just want to shout
I break and smash, then sit and cry
I hate myself, and I hate this lie
All I need is a minute, I just want to live
I don't know how to love, don't know how to give
I know how to take, and it's all that I do
I want to get out, I need to get through
You don't know how I hurt, or how much I bleed
I just want to end it, I don't want to need
I feel like I'm falling, but I can't seem to stop
My heart let me go, my love made me drop
The hate that I felt, and that I still feel
made me fall to my knees, it all made me kneel
I don't know why I let go, my pride had a hold
All I know is I did, my heart has grown cold
