lost and broken   hopeless and lonely   smiling on the outside   but hurt beneath my skin   my eyes are fading   my soul is bleeding   i'll try to make it seem ok    but my faith is wearing thin   Chorus:   so help me heal these wounds   they been open for way too long   help me fill this soul    even though this is not your fault   that i'm open and i'm bleeding   all over your brand new rug   and i need someone to help me sew them up         i only wanted a magazine   i only wanted a movie screen   i only wanted the life i read about and dreamed   and now my mind is an open book    and now my heart is an open wound   and my life is an open soul for all to see       Chorus      so you come along    i push you away   then kick and scream for you to stay   'cause i need someone to help    to help me heal these wounds they been open for way too long help me fill this soul even though this is not your fault   that i'm open and i'm bleeding all over your brand new rug and i need someone to help me sew them i need someone to help me fill them i need someone to help me close them up
