Landmines

[Verse 1]
Trying to pretend it's perfect
Wish that I could run away and hide
In someone else's life
Feel like I'm five and helpless
Like a child left alone
Crying through the night
And when you yell at me, I get scared of you
All I want is to be close to you
I wish I could tell you the way I feel
But I can't break through

[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna say another word
I've already said too much
'Cause you just never seem to get it
Do you even care how much it hurts?
To hate the one you love
And I'm just waiting for the day
When I, when I don't have to tip toe through the landmines

[Verse 2]
So afraid if I say the wrong thing
That you're gonna blow up at me
Till I crumble to the ground
But finally, I'm getting stronger
And if I have to walk away, I will
And I won't turn around
If you saw my tears, would you look away?
Hold me close?
Would you beg to stay?
If I fell apart
And let you see inside
Would you tell me it's alright?

[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna say another word
I've already said too much
You just never seem to get it
Do you even care how much it hurts?
To hate the one you love
And I'm just waiting for the day
When I, I don't have to tip toe through the landmines

[Bridge]
How can I be so conflicted?
You're the light and the darkness in my heart
You'll always have a place inside it
How can loving you be so hard?
Just want it to be ok
Someday, someday...

[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna say another word
I've already said too much
'Cause you just never seem to get it
Do you even care how much it hurts?
To hate the one you love
And I'm just waiting for the day
When I, can finally leave all this hurt behind
So I don't have to tip toe through the landmines
I don't have to tip toe through the landmines

[Outro]
Tip toe through the landmines
