It's hard to breathe, from underneath 
Smothering in all your heat 
It's hard to take, It's tough to break 
So I don't make the same mistakes 

The same mistake, (4x) 

Out in the yard is where I play, 
Don't come in cause I'm afraid 
You saw my face, I faced my friends 
Do I tell or just pretend? 
I found a friend, a friend who knows 
Who says he'll help but then he goes 

And then he goes (4x) 

In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah 
I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah 
In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah 

Fingernails, filled with dirt 
If you don't tell, you don't get hurt 
I cry for help, I pray to God 
Another tear he tries to rob 
To rob me of, my dignity 
Cause sanctuary's far from me 

Far from me (4x) 

In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah 
I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah 
It's hard to take, a piece of me, so peacefully, yeah, yeah 
In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah 

So broke inside, don't run away 
And find another place to stay 
And make our inhibition go away 
Because I'm so afraid, yeah, yeah 

It's hard to breathe, from underneath 
Smothering in all your heat 
It's hard to take, It's tough to break 
So I don't make the same mistakes 

In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah 
I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah 
It's hard to take, a piece of me, so peacefully, yeah, yeah 
In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah
