Everyday is a struggle between what I wanna say
And what I should keep to myself
And the words that manage to leave my lips

Don't hurt me, but they hurt everyone else

And I find myself in need of a pause

I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me


[Chorus:]
But I'll see better when the smoke clears

When the smoke clears inside my head
And I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said
And all that remains me and who I am at the end of the day

And this happens everyday

Everyday is a battle between what I wanna know

And what I don't wanna figure out
And everything in between in these thoughts of mine
That you know I can't live with out


And I find myself in need of a pause
I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because

Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me


[Chorus]
