Shell

Tell me why I can't get
Settled in my own skin
Tell me why I don't fit in
Just like the other kids always did
Tell me why I don't possess
More of that natural confidence
I see the brave
I see the tall
Next to those giants, I'm so small
Why do I fight so hard
To find myself
Oh, why do I fight so hard
To say it is well
Under this shell
Under this shell
I wish I didn't wear my heart
Out where the world can scar
What I have left
Lost in my head
Feel like a falling star
Why do I fight so hard
To find myself
Oh, why do I fight so hard
To say it is well
Under this shell
Under this shell
I'm so tired
I just don't know why
All my burdens
Never seem to feel light
When my shadows
Start to come alive
Why can't I, where is my
When can I, why oh why
Why do I fight so hard
To find myself
Oh, underneath it all
Why do I fight so hard
To say it is well
Well with my soul
I wanna know
Why, oh why, oh why
You give and you take
So I let go
