When somebody asks how I am
I tell a lie nine times out of ten
'Cause they always leave like the wind
If I tell the truth, if I let them in
How'd it get so hard
To keep going, going?
When I've come so far
Tell me, how'd it get so fucking dark?
Every night
Staring at the ceiling, I'm wondering why
All my life
The mountains get steeper the higher I climb
I'm back at the bottom, I can't see the light
I pray to who's listening that someday I'll find
The other side
Other side
They say good things come with a price
I'm not sure the weight's worth what I've sacrificed
I can't tell what's wrong from what's right
Holding on to a dream or letting it die
How'd it get so hard
To keep going, going?
When I've come so far
Feels like I'm broken
Every night
Staring at the ceiling, I'm wondering why
All my life
The mountains get steeper the higher I climb
I'm back at the bottom, I can't see the light
I pray to who's listening that someday I'll find
The other side
Other side
I'm fine, fine, fine
It's all in my head, it's all in my head, I said
I'm fine, fine, fine
It's all in my head, it's all in my head until
Until
'Til somebody asks how I am
And I have to lie
Again and again
Every night (every night)
Staring at the ceiling, I'm wondering why (I'm wondering why)
All my life (ooh, ooh)
The mountains get steeper the higher I climb
I'm back at the bottom, I can't see the light (can't see the light)
I pray to who's listening that someday I'll find (someday I'll find)
The other side
Other side
I just wanna know it's gonna get better
It has to get better
I have to get better
