[Verse 1]
This place has begun to cover me
I recall the light, but the dark smothers me
I prefer the feelings I know right now
I don’t worry about feeling very proud

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t know how it feels to be misunderstood
To reach for the sky, I thought you never would
You don’t know how it feels to be misunderstood
To reach for the sky, I thought you never would

[Chorus]
But I’m bleeding and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I’m open for a new way
'Cause there’s not much more that that I can fake

[Verse 2]
It’s almost seeing your soul for the first time
And watching the mirror show your life in rewind
Captured the ridicule of everyone
I’m tired of trying and they wonder why I’m gone

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t know how it feels to be misunderstood
To reach for the sky, I thought you never would
You don’t know how it feels to be misunderstood
To reach for the sky, I thought you never would
[Chorus]
But I’m bleeding and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I’m open for a new way
'Cause there’s not much more that that I can fake

[Bridge]
Never ending, I'm just beginning
With you
Never ending, I'm just pretending
We are too
And now it's easy to let go
Of how I feel
And now it's better
Since the emotion is real

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you don’t know how it feels to be misunderstood
To reach for the sky, I thought you never would
You don’t know how it feels to be misunderstood
To reach for the sky, I thought you never would

[Chorus]
But I’m bleeding and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I’m open for a new way
'Cause there’s not much more that that I can fake
[Chorus]
But I’m bleeding and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I’m open for a new way
'Cause there’s not much more that that I can fake

[Outro]
But I am bleeding for you
And I am down on my knees
And I am filled up with you
But I am bleeding for you
