[Verse 1]
I wrote your name in smoke
It kept fading off my skin
I tried to say the truth
But the words just folded in
I keep your shadow close
Like a blade under my ribs
I smile, I swallow it
And I bleed where I live
[Pre-Chorus]
I turn it over
I tear it apart
I need a reason
For this iron heart
Say it plain
Cut me clean
What do you mean
What do you mean
[Chorus]
I'm stuck in my own mind
(stuck in my own mind)
I can't get it right
(can't get it right)
Missing you is a wound
That never learns to close
I'm stuck in my own mind
And it shows
[Verse 2]
Your silence feels too loud
It bangs around my skull
I read between the lines
Till the meaning turns to dust
I keep asking the dark
If I made you pull away
But every answer cracks
And falls apart the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I turn it over
I tear it apart
I need a reason
For this iron heart
Say it plain
Cut me clean
What do you mean
What do you mean
[Chorus]
I'm stuck in my own mind
(stuck in my own mind)
I can't get it right
(can't get it right)
Missing you is a wound
That never learns to close
I'm stuck in my own mind
And it shows
[Bridge]
If you could see me now
You'd see the war I hide
The hurt I never named
The storm behind my eyes
I don't want empty stars
I don't want pretty lies
Just one clear line
Before I lose my mind
[Final Chorus]
I'm stuck in my own mind
(stuck in my own mind)
I can't get it right
(can't get it right)
Missing you is a wound
That never learns to close
I'm stuck in my own mind
And it shows
I'm stuck in my own mind
(stuck in my own mind)
Say it plain tonight
(say it plain tonight)
If there's still a way
Pull me back from the cold
I'm stuck in my own mind
And I know
