lyrics

I don't know what you're feeling
Waking up beneath an unfamiliar ceiling

You thought yourself to be a useless child
Like that's a way to live
You're trying to think yourself valueless

You can't run away
'Cause you can't live alone
And you can't figure out yourself
Just by changing your clothes
Or your shoes
Or this room

You wanted to know what it's like to really mean to be mean
'Cause mostly you just know what it's like to be embarrassing
So you told all your friends not to miss you when you're gone
But it's not forgiveness, it's moving on

You can't run away
'Cause you can't live alone
And you can't figure out yourself
Just by changing your clothes
Or your shoes
Or this room

I don't know what you're feeling
Waking up beneath an unfamiliar ceiling

You're scared you'll fade away 'cause you're nobody but you
Can't figure out your heart without someone to compare it to

You don't know what you're feeling
Waking up beneath an unfamiliar ceiling

There's me in my head
And the me in yours
Who's the real me
Or the real you
Without someone to compare it to?

I don't know what you're feeling
Waking up beneath an unfamiliar ceiling
