Lyrics
Crashed in the water I fell
Floating or sinking you can't tell
Put my emotions back on the shelf
Lock my feelings inside myself
Thought s of you can't be replaced
Thinking about it makes my mind race
You believe you hide it well
Welcome to this private hell
Storm is coming
Waves are crashing
Night is falling
Is she sleeping?
Look in to my private hell
Look on my face you can tell
Lock myself away inside my shell
(Mmhmm)
But I never looked back as I fell
(Mmhmm)
Welcome to my private hell
Welcome to my private hell
Secrets she keeps
Listen as she weeps
Goals are hard to reach
Pen to paper she speaks
Jealousy's a hint to rage
Enough being stuck in this cage
Her emotions come out like flames
(Uh huh)
Just too tired to play these games
(MmHmm)
Welcome to my private hell
Welcome to my private -
Never has she ever tried to believe in herself
(Mmhmm)
Now life's changing, there's so much she can tell
Taking chances is the first choice
(Hey)
Afraid that they'll never ever hear her voice
(Mmhmm)
Took a step onto the other side, there's no time left to hide
Welcome to my private hell
Welcome to my private hell
Jealousy's a hint to rage
Enough being stuck in this cage
Her emotions come out like flames
(Uh huh)
Just too tired to play these games
(MmHmm)
Welcome to my private hell x3
