I don’t wanna talk about it,
And I don’t want to hear what you think,
I just want to sit here and cry to myself,
I just want to sit here and try to explain it to myself,

Just because I’m talking out loud,
Doesn’t mean I’m talking to you,
Don’t get upset, now,
It’s just a tear or two,
So don’t look at me like I’m crazy,
Or ask me what I mean,
When the only thing I can do is scream…

“It’s like falling through,
To the other side of the earth,
And landing where everything around,
Sits without worth,

It’s like catching words,
In the middle of my throat,
And not being able to speak when I want to scream,
Like having to swim when I want to float,

I don’t give a damn!
I don’t want to hear the same old thing,
I don’t need you to pick me up!
I’ll just have to fly without wings…”

Don’t turn the lights on,
And don’t forget to close the door,
I just want to sit in the dark by myself,
I just want to be apart from the rest,

I’m trying to reconnect,
Can’ you just leave me alone,
I don’t need your affection to get through this,
I don’t need you to coo me to sleep,
I don’t need you to handle me with an iron fist,
And I don’t need you to give me advice,
I need the darkness and I need the silence,
And I need to hear myself scream,
Who cares what I mean,
When I open my mouth and let it out,
You’ll have to leave when I shout….

“It’s like falling through,
To the other side of the earth,
And landing where everything around,
Sits without worth,

It’s like catching words,
In the middle of my throat,
And not being able to speak when I want to scream,
Like having to swim when I want to float,

I don’t give a damn,
I don’t want to hear the same old thing,
I don’t need you to pick me up,
I’ll just have to fly without wings…”

Now it’s out,
You can come around,
But when you ask me what was wrong,
Don’t be surprised when I tell you,
I felt like I was falling.
