I lace the boots that pinch my toes all day
I wear a tie that chokes my breath away
I smile at folks who never see the strain
I nod along to every old refrain
I climb the wall they built so high and wide
But every stone is sealed by rules inside
I pull my hands away, the scars still show
The wall just stands there, watching me below
I wear the coat that never fits my frame
I walk the road that calls me by another name
I always keep a smile that I don't feel
I always say I'm fine when I'm not real
I wear the coat that never fits my frame
I walk the road that calls me by another name
I hide the cracks I never let them see
I turn away from who I used to be
I climb the wall they built so high and wide
But every stone is sealed by rules inside
I pull my hands away, the scars still show
The wall just stands there, watching me below
I wear the coat that never fits my frame
I walk the road that calls me by another name
I always keep a smile that I don't feel
I always say I'm fine when I'm not real
I wear the coat that never fits my frame
I walk the road that calls me by another name
I hide the cracks I never let them see
I turn away from who I used to be
