Lyrics Grounded - Homebound

Grounded

I talk myself down to lighten this weight
'Cause I’ve got no strength to try and explain
To try lighten this weight
No strength left to try explain
Still Introverted and self-contained
I find my outlook changing but I’m just the same, a little smarter to the game
I play my cards close to my chest and make amends for what you’ve done
You’d run your mouth and make a mess that you would try and escape from
We all have a point to prove but some with a little more to lose
Everything has a price to pay, and this time I can’t afford mistakes
Keep my feet firm on the ground and wait
I like to keep things to myself because my thoughts are my own
Keep them trapped in my head and wait for this to blow
Over and not out of proportion
So forgive me for approaching with a sense of caution
And I’ve learnt that happiness will make you weak
You feel content, you feel complete
But it was never enough to stop feeding my addiction
With false hope filled with contradiction
I lie awake in bed, some things are better left unsaid
I like to keep things to myself because my thoughts are my own
Keep them trapped in my head and wait for this to blow
Over and not out of proportion
So forgive me for approaching with a sense of caution
I talk myself down to lighten this weight
'Cause I’ve got no strength to try and explain
I talk myself down to lighten this weight
'Cause I’ve got no strength to try explain
I like to keep things to myself because my thoughts are my own
Keep them trapped in my head and wait for this to blow
Over and not out of proportion
So forgive me for approaching with a sense of caution
