lyrics

Another night I’m trapped in a corner
Wearing my bravest face all over again
My silence is a matter of self defense
And my loneliness is just a friend

Oh I can’t talk, I can’t talk, I can’t talk, I can’t talk to you
Cause I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that you’ll see right through

Because I’m taking on the world I’m just a face in the crowd
Stumbling over words I’ve gotta learn to figure it out
But I’m thinking uh oh, where do I go?
Take me to the place where wallflowers grow
I know I shouldn’t back away to freeze in my mind
Because these roots can never grow without breaking the ice
But I’m thinking oh no, where do I go?
Take me to the place where wallflowers grow

Rose colored thorns
Coming in sharply
I try to fake confidence
But it shows that I’m shy
You know the pressure’s on I’ve got to be
The life of the party
But I’d rather escape the night
So why even try?

Cause I can’t talk, I can’t talk, I can’t talk, I can’t talk to you
Cause I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that you’ll see right through

Because I’m taking on the world I’m just a face in the crowd
Stumbling over words I’ve gotta learn to figure it out
But I’m thinking uh oh, where do I go?
Take me to the place where wallflowers grow
I know I shouldn’t back away to freeze in my mind
Because these roots can never grow without breaking the ice
But I’m thinking oh no, where do I go?
Take me to the place where wallflowers grow

Rose colored thorns
For weathering storms
Closed up and worn
I’ve got endure
Will is ever get better
Or stay this way forever
I don’t wanna do this all on my own

Another night
Stuck in a crowded room
But the sky’s are clear
And I’m ready to bloom

Because I’m taking on the world I’m just a face in the crowd
Stumbling over words I’ve gotta learn to figure it out
But I’m thinking uh oh, where do I go?
Take me to the place where wallflowers grow
I know I shouldn’t back away to freeze in my mind
Because these roots can never grow without breaking the ice
But I’m thinking oh no, where do I go?
Take me to the place where wallflowers grow

Rose colored thorns
For weathering storms
Closed up and worn
I’ve got endure
Will is ever get better
Or stay this way forever
I don’t wanna do this all on my own
I can’t talk, I can’t talk, I can’t talk, I can’t talk to you
Will is ever get better
Or stay this way forever
Take me to the place where the wallflowers grow
