Wounded

[Verse 1]

Lost and broken, hopeless and lonely

Smiling on the outside, and hurt beneath my skin

My eyes are fading, my soul is bleeding

I'll try to make it seem okay, but my faith is wearing thin

[Chorus]

So help me heal these wounds

They've been open for way too long

Help me fill this soul

Even though this is not your fault

That I'm open, and I'm bleeding

All over your brand new rug

And I need someone to help me sew them up

[Verse 2]

I only wanted a magazine

I only wanted a movie screen

I only wanted the life I'd read about and dreamed

And now my mind is an open book

And now my heart is an open wound

And now my life is an open soul for all to see

[Chorus]

But help me heal these wounds

They've been open for way too long

Help me fill this soul

Even though this is not your fault

That I'm open, and I'm bleeding

All over your brand new rug

And I need someone to help me

[Bridge]

So you come along, I push you away

Then kick and scream for you to stay

'Cause I need someone to help me

Oh, I need someone to help me

[Chorus]

To help me heal these wounds

They've been open for way too long

Help me fill this soul

Even though this is not your fault

That I'm open, and I'm bleeding

All over your brand new rug

And I need someone to help me sew them

[Outro]

I need someone to help me fill them

I need someone to help me close them up
