I apologise for being in this state
Today I buckled under, I couldn't hold the weight
And there's a dark and empty hollow in my brain
At the back of my mind
And I said I don't want to feel that way again
But there's nothing to hold on to when I'm lost in that haze
I feel misrepresented, misunderstood
Has the world gone blind?
This is not a choice, I swear it's not
I wanted to hear your voice to pull me out the dark
Lying in your arms I'll dream of violets in snow
And you'll go quietly before the dawn
Well there's a crowd of people now, they're talking at me loud
And they've started asking questions, but I've got no response
So I hold my hands over my ears and I pray
For another day
This is not a choice, I swear it's not
I wanted to hear your voice to pull me out the dark
Lying in your arms I'll dream of violets in snow
And you'll go quietly before the dawn
