Live and breath you



I feel like everything I do has a consequence
I look for a way to escape
But I leave right now it wouldn't make any sense
still I don't feel I should stay

and the words I speak don't come out right (so I'm told
and everthing I do is wrong
I'm trying hard not to lose this fight
still I don't feel I belong

I feel these walls closing in on me
ever where I turn more so than anyone can see

I try not to let it get me down
all I need is a safe place to go
far away from you
a place where you'll never no
just don't know what else to do
