Walking through my front door
I've been away a couple years
I’ve been chasing all my dreams
But avoiding all my fears
And I met a girl, but she got too close
So I said goodbye
’Cause I'll be running from myself
For the rest of my life

Why do these birds fly into the breeze?
Why do the open arms of someone who loves me make me wanna leave?
Why is it so hard to see what I could be?
Why can't I open up my heart and feel the emptiness
Inside of me?

Sitting in my kitchen
I've been caught inside my head
Thinking 'bout thе past and all
The good times that we had
’Causе I’ve been so many places
Most of which I've never seen
I guess happiness is inside me
Not livin’ in some dream

Why do these birds fly into the breeze?
Why do the open arms of someone who loves me make me wanna leave?
Why is it so hard to see what I could be?
Why can't I open up my heart and feel the emptiness
Inside of me?

Inside of me
Inside of me (oh)

Why do these birds fly into the breeze?
Why do the open arms of someone who loves me make me wanna leave?
Why is it so hard to see what I could be?
Why can't I open up my heart and feel the emptiness?
Oh, why can't I open up my heart and feel the emptiness
That’s inside of me?
