[Verse 1 - soft, close, intimate] I say I'm chasing happiness Masking the pain But is pretending to be happy Going to change a thing Another day. Another smile Another mile, to walk in these shoes Down a road I never chose Some days I fake happy Others I feel like I'm going to explode [Chorus - full band, powerful] Bottled up feelings Bleeding, leaking outta me Wearing all my scars Scabbed up, Still healing [Verse 2 - low, tense] Open wounds Healing soon Or least I hope so All patched up That's enough I'll be bleeding soon Tear the scabs off Watch the skin break That's great My wounds fester again [Chorus - bigger, strained] Bottled up feelings Bleeding, leaking outta me Wearing all my scars Scabbed up, Still healing [Bridge - drop to almost whisper, vulnerable] I'm going out I'm doing great But I'm a sad soul With a pretty face My eyes, the windows to my soul Tell the truth No matter how hard I try To hide the things I keep in I'm breaking apart again [Chorus - biggest] Bottled up feelings Bleeding, leaking outta me Wearing all my scars Scabbed up, Still healing [Outro - soft, exhausted, fade] I'll keep chasing happy Life's coming at me Way too fast I'll walk this road Just to see where it goes Pick up another scar Another wound I'll hope will heal Scarred up, hoping to heal
