[Verse 1]
Sitting by myself
And wondering
Why the only bliss I feel
Is from the things that aren’t real

[Verse 2]
I want to know
If I was
Given the chance to change it all
Would I give in or would I fall?

[Chorus 1]
And now
I’m submerged in it all
Everywhere I look
I’m surrounded by my faults

I wish
I could put it all on pause

Wait a minute
'Til the storm calms down

[Verse 3]
I wish
I could be happy
From the little things I see
But I’m constantly reminded

[Verse 4]
Of the things
I couldn’t be
And I know before I get away
There’s still a lot that’s left to say

[Chorus 2]
But now
I’m submerged in it all
Everywhere I look
I’m surrounded by my faults

I wish
I could put it all on pause

Wait a minute
'Til the storm calms down

[Bridge]
And I know I’ve come a long way and I’m better with myself
But there’s still that nagging feeling I belong to someone else
I don’t know if I’ll be happy but I’m better off alone
I know everything is simpler when I do it on my own
And I’m sorry if it hurts you that I’m pushing you away
But I think it’d hurt you more if I were to let you stay
I don’t want to be your burden
I'm my own and it's enough
All these thoughts I’ve been submerged in
Say the waters will be rough
I’m running out of time wish I could put it all on pause

[Outro]
And wait a minute
'Til the storm calms down
