Instance

Verse 1
I was kept away
Locked up from the schemes
In your darkest faces
I saw enemies
Never told you to stay down
Now im suffering
Why your my leases
I wait patiently
I wait patiently
Chorus
If i, if had only known
The places i was shown
Made me so unsure
A lie is something i would yearn for
For dying to explore
These very instances that left me scarred
Left me scarred
Verse 2
Who could fit the bill
And what you ask ain't clear
No reason for the anguish
When you never had to fear
I'd given all my binding
Into your ideal
Find my dedicated
Unsure of what to feel
Unsure of what to feel
Repeat Chorus
Who's talking to ya...
Who's talking to ya know
'Cos i can't hear a sound
And there's no one else around but me
Am i so hard to see
Who's talking to ya
Repeat Chorus x2
