Lyric

Love aches my heart

If I reach out, it feels like the distance between us will close

I tuck my loneliness into my pillow

When morning comes, I pretend to be able to laugh

There's so much I want to protect

Am I just running away because I don't want to hurt anyone?

Kindness and cowardice

All face the same, get in the way

I love you, I'm sad, I'm lonely

So why do I long for freedom?

If time could stop and I could sleep

I think of you with my heart closed. (Ah)

I want to touch you, but I can't

I can't even call your name

Someone says they're happy

"There's nothing to be scared of when we're together." I pretend not to hear those words as I walk home alone

I'm just afraid of losing what I was counting on

But I pretend not to notice

I can't show the tears I'm hiding when I see your smile

I love you, I'm sad, I'm lonely

But why do I still long for freedom?

I wish that clock would stop

Why do I keep my heart locked up?

I can't set you free, I want to

I just end up confused again. (Oh)

If I told you everything

Would you stay the same?

Or would you smile gently, embrace me

And say, "It's okay."

I love you, I'm sad, I'm lonely

But why do I still long for freedom?

If I could stop time and sleep like this

I'd think of you with my heart locked up. I love you, I'm suffering, I love you

I'm still holding on to a key that won't open

Hey, find me

Until one day I can open my heart
