Shut down the feelin'
That someone was there for me
Closed off my senses
That maybe one day I'd see
A day where it wouldn't hurt, not
Spendin' hours lookin' for the words,
That I couldn't say 'cuz it wasn't worth it
I shouldn't speak if I ain't perfect
Just a day where I wasn't broken
All the lies out in the open
Maybe then all my numb emotions
Will come back around
Where did they go?
The kids we used to know
They're so far from home
We built so long ago
We're so stuck in our own heads
That they're not even workin'
Where did they go?
Maybe it's better
That nobody knows my mind,
'Cause I can't remember speakin'
Without sayin', "Sorry, I'm lookin' for..."
A day where it wouldn't hurt, not
Spendin' hours lookin' for the words,
That I couldn't say 'cuz it wasn't worth it
I shouldn't speak if I ain't perfect
Just a day where I wasn't broken
All the lies out in the open
Maybe then all my numb emotions
Will come back around
Where did they go?
The kids we used to know
They're so far from home
We built so long ago
We're so stuck in our own heads
That they're not even workin'
Where did they go?
