You brace and hold it all inside

It's more than you can stand

No one around even tries

Tries to understand



Don't turn away, don't turn away

Come out swinging

Come out alone

They're in your way

But as long as you're swinging

Strong then you'll get by



Your pacing's wearing out a line

Right beside your bed

The scene replays a million times

Stuck inside your head

And though you stand in place

Your mind escapes

Read between the lies

Smile's on your face

You fake like you're ok



Don't turn away, don't turn away

Come out swinging

Out on your own

They're in your way

You may be stinging

But you'll get by

Don't turn away, don't turn away

Come out swinging

Never alone again

The pain inside can guide your way



Midnight, no sleep

Inside, you scream to

No one, hears you fall

Daylight, prove me today

One more try



Don't turn away, don't turn

Come out swinging

Come out alone

They're in your way

You may be stinging

But you'll get by

Don't turn away, don't turn away

Come out swinging

Never alone again

Pain inside

Leads you through so you'll get by
