I'm a little short this month, can you help me out?
Don't wanna be the center of attention, maybe it's 'cause I've always had my doubts
About my situation, my friends and my feelings and everything in between 
I could tell you now how I see it, but I don't think you'd know what I mean 
I’ve been chasing my direction since the very start of it 
I’ve been faking my way to perfection or at least the very thought of it 

So I'll keep hiding from my fears even though that's not what I need
I'll keep smiling through my tears even though I would never speak
About the times that I've been broke I've been tossed around inside 
If only the strong survive 
I hope I'm not weak in your eyes 

I'm a little high and drunk, can you drive?
The keys are on the dash, and all my dreams are spilled inside
I could say I don't care about the things you've been saying, but I'd be lying
I could tell you now how I see it, but you might accuse me of trying
I've been saying it forever but there's been no one listening
You can tell me how to get to heaven but you can't show me a goddamn thing

So I'll keep hiding from my fears even though that's not what I need
I'll keep smiling through my tears even though I would never speak
About the times that I've been broke I've been tossed around inside 
If only the strong survive 
I hope I'm not weak in your eyes 

If I stumble through the darkness, be my light
I was ready for the rumble, until I lost the fight 

So I'll keep hiding from my fears even though that's not what I need
I'll keep smiling through my tears even though I would never speak
About the times that I've been broke I've been tossed around inside 
If only the strong survive 
I hope I'm not weak in your eyes
