My lips are shaking, my nails are bit off

Been a month since I've heard myself talk

All the advantage this life's got on me

Picture a cup in the middle of the sea



And I fight back in my mind

Never lets me be right, oh

I got memories, I got shit

So much it don't show



I walked the line

When you held me in that night

I walked the line

When you held my hand that night



An empty shell seems so easy to crack

Got all these questions, don't know who I could even ask

So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream

Where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me



And I'll stay in a bed

Oh could've seen it

If just once, I could feel loved

Oh, stare back at me, yeah



But I walked the line

When you held me in that night

Oh, I walked the line

When you held my hand that night

Oh, I walked the line

When you held me close at night

I paid the price, never held you in real life
