I don’t like writing ballads all the time

I feel like I’m disappointing someone out there

All you see is rainbows and sunshine

I will keep it going, hoping, knowing that you won’t care

 

And you won’t dare

To ask

What am I holding back

What am I hiding from

I told you that I am strong

 

I don’t want the world

To see me falling apart

But if I don’t speak

What becomes of me

I don’t wanna return to the dust

 

I can’t tell you all

That I’m falling apart

But what of my legacy

How will you remember me

I know that I’m talking too much

 

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

But this is my heart

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

This is me not giving up

 

I’m so good at telling you to hold on

You don’t need to know if I’m good too

If I can heal your pain, you’ll move along

It’s okay to leave me behind if you need to

 

‘Cause it won’t do

To ask

It won’t do to look back

Where you started from

I told you, you are strong

 

But you won’t dare

To ask

What I’m holding back

What I’m hiding from

Didn’t I tell you I’m

 

I don’t want the world

To see me falling apart

But if I don’t speak

What becomes of me

I don’t wanna return to the dust

 

I can’t tell you all

That I’m falling apart

But what of my legacy

How will you remember me

I know that I’m talking too much

 

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

But this is my heart

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

This is me not giving up

 

I don’t need this feeling to write

But I can’t deny

That I fall in the trap sometimes

It’s just so healing to write

And as time goes by

I find myself back here like

Someone’s listening

(Yeah, right)

 

I don’t want the world

To see me falling apart

But if I don’t speak

What becomes of me

I don’t wanna return to the dust

 

I can’t tell you all

That I’m falling apart

But what of my legacy

How will you remember me

I know that I’m talking too much

 

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

But this is my heart

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

This is me not giving up

 

I don’t want the world

To see me falling apart

But if I don’t speak

What becomes of me

I don’t wanna return to the dust

 

I can’t tell you all

That I’m falling apart

But what of my legacy

How will you remember me

I know that I’m talking too much

 

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

But this is my heart

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

This is me not giving up

 

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

(ah-ah, ah-ah)

(ah-ah, ah-ah)
