Bottled Up - Tender

Bottled up, won’t talk about it

Nobody needs to know

Nobody needs to know

Between me and my mind

Believe me, I’ve tried

Nobody needs to know

Nobody needs to know

Always your own

You were stronger than me

You wrapped your arms around me

But you’ll never understand

Feel so alone, standing in a crowded place

What I’d give to know their names and how they feel

Like a wave crashing over me

A rough sea lacking harmony

You are my peace of mind, got the best from you

A steady hand that guides me through

Like the gentle before the break

My own thoughts, they pull and shake me up

Finding solace in what’s at stake

My own hands won’t give or take enough

Bottled up, won’t talk about it

Nobody needs to know

Nobody needs to know

Between me and my mind

Believe me, I’ve tried

Nobody needs to know

Nobody needs to know

Feel such a waste

Packing things in an empty case

But that, that look you got on your face

Tells me everything I need to know

Then I’ll hold the door

Help you carry your things to the car

Tell me, tell me something you won’t get too far

Before you come crawling back to me

Like a wave crashing over me

A rough sea lacking harmony

You are my peace of mind, got the best from you

A steady hand that guides me through

Like the gentle before the break

My own thoughts, they pull and shake me up

Finding solace in what’s at stake

My own hands won’t give or take enough

Bottled up, won’t talk about it

Nobody needs to know

Nobody needs to know

Between me and my mind

Believe me, I’ve tried

Nobody needs to know

Nobody needs to know

Like a wave crashing over me

A rough sea lacking harmony

You are my peace of mind, got the best from you

A steady hand that guides me through

Like the gentle before the break

My own thoughts, they pull and shake me up

Finding solace in what’s at stake

My own hands won’t give or take enough
