Does Anybody Know

Verse 1
How many times will you tell me that I’m just not enough/ not in what you say but in how you say it/ I try so hard but you only see me when I fail/when I fall/when I cry/when I die/ how many times will you stab me deep inside my fragile heart/ not with a sword no just your pointed words/ I build up my defenses so you crash through harder than before/ through the door/ I can’t take/ this anymore

Chorus
Does anybody out there know what I’m talking about/ do you hide your wounds like I do/ do you run away like I want to/ how many feel the deep abiding pain/ the truth of clinging shame/ the wish to hear your name/ without this scorn that bites the same as all the others/ does anybody know

Verse 2
How many days will go by before I realize you don’t love me/ before I see what’s right before me/ before I know you could never adore me when I’m here/ by your side/ by myself/ I can see/ I can tell/ how many songs must I sing before you see the true me/ not with your eyes no with your heart/ I’ll sing as many as it takes for you to hear my voice/ its your choice/ my cracking lips/ no longer moist

Chorus
Does anybody out there know what I’m talking about/ do you hide your wounds like I do/ do you run away like I want to/ how many feel the deep abiding pain/ the truth of clinging shame/ the wish to hear your name/ without this scorn that bites the same as all the others/ does anybody out there feel what I feel/ or know what its like/ to hold something real/ to fly high as a kite/ does anybody know
