Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's another world inside of me that you may never see

There's secrets in this life that I can't hide

Well, somewhere in this darkness, there's a light that I can't find

Well, maybe, it's too far away, yeah

Or maybe I'm just blind

Or maybe I'm just blind

[Verse 2]

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone

Everything I am and everything in me

Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down, even if I could

I'd give up everything, if only for your good

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

You can hold me when I'm scared, you won't always be there

So love when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone

[Verse 3]

When your education X-ray cannot see under my skin

I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my fans

Roaming through this darkness, I'm alive, but I'm alone

And part of me is fighting this, but part of me is gone

[Verse 4]

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone

Everything I am and everything in me

Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down, even if I could

I'd give up everything, if only for your good

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

You can hold me when I'm scared, you won't always be there

So love me when I'm gone

[Verse 5]

Or maybe I'm just blind

[Verse 6]

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone

Everything I am and everything in me

Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down, even if I could

I'd give up everything, if only for your good

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

You can hold me when I'm scared, you won't always be there

So love me when I'm gone

[Verse 7]

Love me when I'm gone, whoa

Love me when I'm gone

[Verse 8]

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

When I'm gone
