Everyday is a struggle between what I wanna say

And what I should keep to myself

And the words that manage to leave my lips

Don't hurt me, but they hurt everyone else

And I find myself in need of a pause

I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because

Of this desire to be what others want me to be

Which is nothing close to me

[Chorus:]

But I'll see better when the smoke clears

When the smoke clears inside my head

And I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said

And all that remains me and who I am at the end of the day

And this happens everyday

Everyday is a battle between what I wanna know

And what I don't wanna figure out

And everything in between in these thoughts of mine

That you know I can't live with out

And I find myself in need of a pause

I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because

Of this desire to be what others want me to be

Which is nothing close to me

[Chorus]
