You're watching me tie my own noose
Around my own poor throat
And you're probably thinking what's the use
But baby you wouldn't know
I've always heard don't try to go there
It never ends up like you plan
Hovers over me like hot air
Wondering if I'll take your hand
But I've never been one to dance
When I say I'm hurting
You say it's probably just growing pains
But this is an inside feeling
Not just an aching leg
Baby you bet I blew it
I found out how the story ends
And I wasn't ready to stop reading
But I skipped ahead
So now I just have to pretend
When I say I'm hurting
You say it's probably just growing pains
But this is an inside feeling
Not just an aching leg
When I say I'm hurting
You say it's probably just growing pains
But this is an inside feeling
Not just an aching leg
Not just an aching leg
