Intro:

As we go through trying times
As we go through
 
[Verse 1 - Repeat Throughout Verse]
 
You know I'm shredded by the time I'm home
Like polystyrene foam
And the jealous end up alone
'Cause there are things that they can never know

[Verse 2 - Repeat Throughout Verse]
 
I'm breaking, I hide it well
'Cause I can't afford to replace the shell
And the anxious end up alone
'Cause there are far too many things we can't control
