Internal war

Verse 1

I keep my secrets in a box,

Hide the key and turn the locks.

Tell myself I'm doing fine,

While every thought consumes my mind.

I see his name, I start to smile,

Then tell myself, "Don't stay a while."

Don't get attached, don't let him in,

You'll only lose before you win.

Pre-Chorus

My heart says, "Go!"

My mind says, "Run!"

They're fighting over

What I've become...

Chorus

Every day, I tell myself...

"Put your feelings on the shelf"

"You don't need them..."

"There's no reason."

"I'm my own friend"

"Love always has to end"

(SAVE ME!)

"You don't need him"

"There's no reason"

"He's just a young man"

"You'll give yourself treason!"

(But I love him!)

Someone save me from my mind...

Just ignore what you'll find...

Verse 2

Maybe loving isn't wrong,

Maybe I've been scared too long.

Maybe every warning sign

Is just a monster in my mind.

He's far away, but somehow near,

A voice I miss, a name I hear.

And every time I say goodbye,

My thoughts come back and ask me why.

Pre-Chorus

My heart says, "Stay!"

My mind says, "Leave!"

I don't know which one

I should believe...

Chorus

Every day, I tell myself...

"Put your feelings on the shelf"

"You don't need them..."

"There's no reason."

"I'm my own friend"

"Love always has to end"

(SAVE ME!)

"You don't need him"

"There's no reason"

"He's just a young man"

"You'll give yourself treason!"

(But I love him!)

Someone save me from my mind...

Just ignore what you'll find...

Bridge

What if I'm wrong?

What if I'm right?

What if I lose him

Just because I was afraid to fight?

I built these walls to keep me safe,

But now they're keeping love away...

So tell me, mind,

Why can't you let my heart have its say?

Final Chorus

Every day, I tell myself...

"Put your feelings on the shelf..."

But maybe feelings aren't a crime,

Maybe love deserves some time.

(SAVE ME!)

No... don't save me from him.

Save me from the war within.

(But I love him!)

Someone save me from my mind...

Or let me finally close my eyes...

And stop ignoring what I'll find...
