VERSE 1:
                
If weakness is a wound
                    
That no one wants to speak of
                                            
Then “cool” is just how far we have to fall
          
I am not immune
              
I only want to be loved
                             
But I feel safe behind the firewall
                       
Can I lose my need to impress?             
                                  ~
If you want the truth, I need to confess   

CHORUS:
        
I’m not alright
                          
I’m broken inside, broken inside
            
And all I go through
                                 
It leads me to you, it leads me to you

VERSE 2:
             
Burn away the pride
              
Bring me to my weakness
                                
Till everything I hide behind is gone
                 
And when I’m open wide
                    
With nothing left to cling to
                                 
Only you are there to lead me on
                            ~
Cause honestly, I’m not that strong

CHORUS:
        
I’m not alright
                          
I’m broken inside, broken inside
            
And all I go through
                                 
It leads me to you, it leads me to you

BRIDGE:
                                
And I move, and I move, and I move...closer to you
                                
And I move, and I move, and I move...closer to you
                                
And I move, and I move, and I move...closer to you
                                 ~
And I move, and I move, and I move...

FINAL CHORUS:
        
I’m not alright
                          ~  *pause*
I’m broken inside, broken inside

*(Start singing on the next F#)*
                      
broken inside, broken inside
             
And all I go through
                           
Leads me to you, leads me to you

                                                        
I’m not alright, I’m not alright, I’m not alright...that’s why I need you

THE END!
