Lyrics

Did you ever get so used to getting hurt
That it always feels like you against the world
The other show is always dropping
You don't know how to stop it
You can't stand back just watching
Yourself get burned E

You're always fighting-
But you can't protect yourself
Your chest is tightening
Like a hard and lonely shell
Every situation lights a fuse, your battles end up choosing you
You wind up in that empty place again
When you're always fighting
You're always on the losing end

Just trying to make love becomes a war
Angry words go flying back and forth
You feel like everyone one's against you
There's no one to defend you
When anyone befriends you -
It's a double-edged sword

(Chorus)
Your heart is dying
In a hard and lonely shell

Every smile becomes a shield every word becomes a weapon
If you want to find some peace of mind, you just can't let 'em

Gotta stop fighting
Let the anger start to melt
And keep on trying
To soften up that lonely shell
Where every situation lights a fuse, your battles end up choosing you
And you wind up in that empty place again
When you're always fighting
You're always on the losing end
