Jofae - Dead Inside

You know, sometimes, I feel like
You know, that I don't have anything left in me
I feel empty, like the life's been sucked out of me
Like... like this is all that I've got left, this shell
I just feel... dead inside
What good are a couple bills if you don't know how to use them
If you don't know what you're doing?
What good is the world's attention
If those you love just never listen
And you're all alone?
So I put my front on when I'm hanging with my friends
Pretend I got everything together
But we both know I don't
I'm just good at lying
I wish I could be myself with the people that I love the most
But I'm scared if I do
What people will I lose?
And why do I push away the people who love me the most?
I don't know
And why is my biggest fear that one day I'll be a nobody?

I feel dead like a phantom in the middle of the night
Once again asking myself, "What's the reason I even try?"
I feel dead inside, I feel overcome
Bring me back to life, You're the only one

What good is success if you are never satisfied
If all you ever do is cry?
What good is a lover's kiss if that's just how you cover the pain?
When you're alone, you're still afraid
If you ask me how I'm doing, I say I'm just doing great
But we both know I ain't
I'm too good at lying
I wonder what would happen if I wiped my smile off of my face
Would people think I'm great?
Or would they run away?

I feel dead like a phantom in the middle of the night
Once again asking myself, "What's the reason I even try?"
I feel dead inside, I feel overcome
Bring me back to life, You're the only one

The more I get, yeah, the more that I want
The more I want, yeah, the less I find I'm happy
The stronger my desires, the more it kills me
The more that I search, the further I feel from the real me

I was chasing a lot of stuff
I thought that it would fill me up
But no matter what I do
I never seem to have enough
I was chasing love, success, and fame
But the more I did, the more I hated that face
In the mirror

So take my hand, and bring me back to life
Only You can
Take my hand, and bring me back to life
Only You can
