[F]Sweat flows my face, it happened once [Am]before.
[F]I feel naked in front of you, you’re nice [Am]words.
[F]Knifes inside my chest, words no one heard [Am]before.
[F]I’m the only one to know, I’m the only one to [Am]know.
[F]Flies attack my head, when I try to scratch your [Am]neck.
[F]I realise I just lost my nails and everything starts to [Am]shake.
[F]I don’t want anyone to see me sad, my body closes [Am]up.
[F]And I don’t want anyone to see me sad, my body closes [Am]up.
So… This is why you just.
[F]Lay me down and shut me up, push my feelings now outside my [Am]head.
- I’m down
[F]Now it’s time to realise that walls were made to fall apart, take [Am]down!
- My wall. 
[F]I start to cry and now I see that i’m the man I was meant to [Am]be.
- I’m feeling glad that you found, I’m feeling glad that you found my way down.
[F]Naked full of songs, there’s nothing left to show…. I’m free[Am].
