I’ll count the stars
Cross my feet
And stay here, at home
Them, they don’t
Understand
I’d rather be alone
There’s this fear
That what I say
It all comes out wrong
I don’t mean to offend
I just forget
How to belong
Their words, their minds
Their thoughts, their eyes
It all gets too much
I’ll wrap myself in covers
And it will all be okay
I just have to run away sometimes
I won’t be this way forever
I’ll face the cold someday
But right now, I’m content to hide
There are times
The weak inside
Leaves me bare
There are times
I’ll close my eyes
And still feel the stare
Their words, their minds
Their thoughts, their eyes
It sticks in my bones
Their words, their minds
Their thoughts, their eyes
It all gets too much
I’ll wrap myself in covers
And it will all be okay
I just have to run away sometimes
I won’t be this way forever
I’ll face the cold someday
But right now, I’m content to hide
But right now, I’m content to
Dream of a world
Where my adventures unfold
Dream of a place
Where I don’t feel so afraid
But I come back to reality
And it’s all too much
I’ll wrap myself in covers
And it will all be okay
I just have to run away sometimes
I won’t be this way forever
I have better days
But right now
I feel safe and warm
Right now
I can’t take any more
But right now
I’m content to hide
But right now
I’m content to hide
