When I'm a Wreck
Embracing Chaos: When Love Shelters a Broken Soul
Lyrics
I don't want anyone to see me like this
I want to hide my current state from others.
Hide behind a broken smile, dreaming of what I miss
I conceal my true emotions behind a fake smile and daydream about what I've lost.
The days are long, I'm all alone, can't seem to catch my breath
The days feel endless, and I feel isolated, struggling to breathe.
Red-faced, messed up place, so many words I regret
I'm in a disordered and regretful state, marked by embarrassment and many spoken words I wish I hadn't said.
You get me more than myself
You understand me better than I understand myself.
You protect me from myself
You shield me from my own destructive tendencies.
Uncontrollable, inconsolable, mentally destroyed
I feel overwhelmed, inconsolable, and mentally shattered.
All these years wrapped up in tears, nothing fills this void
Despite years of crying, there's an emotional void that nothing seems to fill.
Holding back, heart attack, swallowing this pain
I'm holding back emotions like a heart attack, swallowing pain in silence.
If you were here, it'd be clear, I wouldn't have to explain
If you were here, I wouldn't need to explain my feelings; you'd understand.
You get me more than myself
You comprehend me better than I comprehend myself.
You protect me from myself
You protect me from my own destructive tendencies.
You love me when I'm a wreck
You show love and support even when I'm emotionally broken.
Going out to leave this house, my spirit's been tamed
I'm leaving my house, feeling subdued and controlled.
I've been drinking and thinking, I have myself to blame
I've been drinking and reflecting on my actions, acknowledging my own responsibility for my state.
Sunrise, blistered eyes buried in my hands
As the sun rises, my eyes are swollen, and I bury my face in my hands.
When I fall, can I call, cause you'd understand
When I stumble or fall, I wonder if I can call you because you would understand.
You get me more than myself
You understand me better than I understand myself.
You protect me from myself
You shield me from my own destructive tendencies.
You love me when I'm a wreck
You love and support me even when I'm emotionally broken.
