Eats Me Up

"Love has never been a popular movement
And no one's ever wanted really to be free
Otherwise, of course you can despair
Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you
What you gotta remember is what you're looking at is also you
Everyone you're looking at is also you"

His words rip through me
The very feeling is so overwhelming
Can you just help me?
This treading water feels so much like drowning

You weren't there
He just needed for someone to give him a sign
But I shrugged it off like
"Better luck next time"

How can I say what you've been through?
It's hard enough to live my own life (whoa)
There's only so much I can do
And it eats me up inside, eats me up inside

(Whoa, whoa)
And it eats me up inside

I'm not here to cure or fix anyone
Don't turn me into what I'm not
Please understand I'm not who you think I am
Look inside (look inside)
I think you'll be surprised by what you'll find
I promise it will come alive if you try
One day at a time

How can I say what you've been through?
It's hard enough to live my own life (whoa)
There's only so much I can do
And it eats me up inside, eats me up inside

I can never know
The hand you've been dealt
Or the pain that you've held
But I know you can't fight for anyone else
If you can't fight for yourself
Fight for yourself
Fight for yourself

How can I say what you've been through? (You've been through)
It's hard enough to live my own life (whoa)
There's only so much I can do (I can do)
And it eats me up inside, eats me up inside

(Whoa, whoa)
And it eats me up inside
(Whoa, whoa)
And it eats me up inside
