[Verse 1]

I keep talking to myself

As if there's no one else around

All those pretty pills can't help me

Find what can't be found

[Pre-Chorus]

Everything went as planned

I'll give up, my mind will bend

You can leave me behind

You know I won't mind

[Chorus]

I swallow tears with a happy smile

There's little time to reconcile

Can't run away, I fall apart

It cannot end, it stops my heart

I swallow tears with a happy smile

And all I know is that you

Can't help me, can't help me

[Verse 2]

I keep staring at the ceiling

Though I know that it looks bad

Tired of old familiar feeling

Fighting voices in my head

I keep running from my conscience

With no special place to hide

I'm so tired of reminding

Myself of what's right

[Pre-Chorus]

Everything went as planned

I'll give up, my mind will bend

You can leave me behind

You know I don't mind

[Chorus]

I swallow tears with a happy smile

There's little time to reconcile

Can't run away, I fall apart

It cannot end, it stops my heart

I swallow tears with a happy smile

And all I know is that you

Can't help me, can't help me

[Chorus]

I swallow tears with a happy smile

There's little time to reconcile

Can't run away, I fall apart

It cannot end, it stops my heart

I swallow tears with a happy smile

And all I know is that you

Can't help me, can't help me
