Piece of Mind - Northbound

I don’t know how to be less heavy hearted

I’m affecting you in ways in which I never would have wanted

But, this is how I dream

Tangled up in sheets

I’m talking in my sleep again

I know you find it creepy

I just need some peace of mind

Give me a piece of your mind

‘Cause I’m scared if I let you in you’ll leave

This is why I never want to let people know me

It’s just cigarettes, alcohol, and weed

These are the things that we taste when we’re kissing

You people don’t know me at all

You think that you do from the words of a song

That I wrote five years ago

But I deserve the chance to grow

The only thing that’s stopping me

Is what these strangers think of me

Peace of mind

Give me a little more time

‘Cause I’m scared if I let you in you’ll leave

This is why I never want to let people know me

It’s just cigarettes, alcohol, and weed

These are the things that we taste when we’re kissing

But do you want the real me?

'Cause I get so unhappy

I kick and scream and just complain

When I’m the only one to blame

How could you really feel things?

I can’t forgive a single word

I know that I will never learn

I know that when I open up you’ll leave

This is why I never want to let people love me

No sense of self and insecurity

These are the things that I feel when I’m loving

Do you want the real me?
