[Verse 1]

I've got demons inside that you know, I'm trying to hide

I've got scars that run so deep baby, gon' show you tonight

Tell you my secrets, but can you keep them?

I've got skeletons in my closet that I gotta fight tonight


[Chorus]

I keep hearing voices in my head

Telling me to wake up out this bed

You know that I'm broken, but baby

Been trying to turn me inside out

I keep hearing whispers in the dark

Telling me to break your pretty heart

You know that I'm broken, but baby

Only you can turn me inside out


[Verse 2]

I've got shadows creeping up when I go into the light

You keep asking what's in the darkest corners of my mind

I'm barely breathing, and I'm not sleeping

You keep saying I'm down and distant and I can't deny or fight


[Chorus]

I keep hearing voices in my head

Telling me to wake up out this bed

You know that I'm broken, but baby

Been trying to turn me inside out

I keep hearing whispers in the dark

Telling me to break your pretty heart

You know that I'm broken, but baby

Only you can turn me inside out


[Bridge]

Tell you my secrets, but can you keep them?

I'm barely breathing, and I'm not sleeping

I hear those voices (voices, voices)

I hear those whispers (whispers, whispers)

I'm losing focus (focus, focus)

You're getting farther (farther, farther)


[Chorus]

I keep hearing voices in my head

Telling me to wake up out this bed

You know that I'm broken, but baby

Been trying to turn me inside out

I keep hearing whispers in the dark

Telling me to break your pretty heart

You know that I'm broken, but baby

Only you can turn me inside out

Can turn me inside out
