[Verse 1]
Behind closed doors
Under the gun
I've been lost in a story
And it’s written in blood
But it's not to late
For it to change
(So step up!)
And step away from the pen and the page

[Chorus]
Oh, please don't turn your back on me
I’m still falling you keep looking away
It's killing me that I was so careful but
I still can't sleep from the scars you leave, so
I'll say I'm alive when I'm dead inside and I
Hide from the things that I fear
If I wake up
Believe me
I'll never be able to take it from here, no

[Verse 2]
I am stuck in my mind
Losing all thought, what's it feel like to feel?
I’m not alright, I’m trapped in fire with nowhere to hide
Every step I take just takes another piece of me
And I cannot find any peace
But even now I've come to believe in this pain

Are you okay? (Ah!)
Are you okay? (Ahh!)
I’m here for you
Are you even listening?
That's it for me
Cause I'm to blame
So when it's time to let go I won’t ever change

[Chorus]
Please don't turn your back on me
I'm still falling you keep looking away
Its killing me that I was so careful
But I still can't sleep from the scars you leave, so
We say we're alive when we're dead inside and we
Hide from the feelings at heart
We hold tight
But love won't live forever
I never was able to keep us from falling apart

[Bridge]
(Don't say that)
Don't you know what it does to me?
(You said that)
You would never stop loving me
But I'll never let it sink deep enough
I'll just keep trusting you there's nothing I can do

(Don't say that)
Don't you know what it does to me?
(You said that)
You would never stop loving me
But I'll never let it sink deep enough
I'll just keep trusting you there's nothing I can do

Please don't, don't turn
Don't turn your back on me
(There's nothing I can do)
Please don't, don't turn
Don't turn your back on me

[Chorus]
But you turned your back on me
I kept falling and you just looked away
It killed me even though I was careful
Now I'll never sleep again from these scars
Why do we say we're alive when we're dead inside
We hide from the things in our head
We won't wake up
Believe me
I'll never be able to cope with the thought...
Why do we say we're alive when we're dead inside
And we hide from the things in our head
We won't wake up
Believe me
We'll never be able to cope with the thought that we're dead
