[Verse 1]

Wake up the dead screaming so silently

Punch out the walls of insecurity

Make up and stand and say that I'll be fine

I spread these kinds of rumors all the time

My barricade is like a prison fence

The way I'm feeling when I smile

They really make no sense

Lights in my room just like a starry night

And that's the way that it goes

That's just the way that it goes

[Chorus]

When there's nobody around you

No one will profound you

Just leave me alone

Don't leave me by myself

I see no friends

Only strangers

That don't know my danger

[Verse 2]

I drink my coffee from a paper cup

It doesn't keep my hands warm enough

Making some plans so I had something to break

Look in a line so I had something to fake

There's no protection when the demons come

I hear them screaming pound on my eardrums

This house is haunted now but nobody knows

That's just the way that it goes

That's just the way that it goes

[Chorus]

When there's nobody around you

No one will profound you

Just leave me alone

Don't leave me by myself

I see no friends

Only strangers

That don't know my danger (Oh, Ohh)

[Verse 3]

Tell me this is a dream

Give me the weightlessness I need

I'm floating around this room now

Escaping the memory stampede

I think I can see my mother

Living without her has made me weak

I'm fighting a losing battle

I am a game of hide and seek

[Chorus X2]

When there's nobody around you

No one will profound you

Just leave me alone

Don't leave me by myself

I see no friends

Only strangers

That don't know my danger

When there's nobody around you

No one will profound you

Just leave me alone

Don't leave me by myself

I see no friends

Only strangers

That don't know my danger (Ohh, Woah ohh)

That's just the way that it goes (ohhh)
