It's hard to breathe, from underneath

Smothering in all your heat

It's hard to take, It's tough to break

So I don't make the same mistakes 



The same mistake, (4x) 



Out in the yard is where I play,

Don't come in cause I'm afraid

You saw my face, I faced my friends

Do I tell or just pretend?

I found a friend, a friend who knows

Who says he'll help but then he goes 



And then he goes (4x) 



In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah

I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah

In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah 



Fingernails, filled with dirt

If you don't tell, you don't get hurt

I cry for help, I pray to God

Another tear he tries to rob

To rob me of, my dignity

Cause sanctuary's far from me 



Far from me (4x) 



In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah

I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah

It's hard to take, a piece of me, so peacefully, yeah, yeah

In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah 



So broke inside, don't run away

And find another place to stay

And make our inhibition go away

Because I'm so afraid, yeah, yeah 



It's hard to breathe, from underneath

Smothering in all your heat

It's hard to take, It's tough to break

So I don't make the same mistakes 



In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah

I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah

It's hard to take, a piece of me, so peacefully, yeah, yeah

In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah
