Lyrics On The Surface - Paul Meehan, Mark Taylor, Adam Philips

On The Surface

On the surface, I’m alright
On the outside, I know I’ll never have to fight it
I just hide it
On the surface, I’m okay
I was broken but found a way to stop the bleeding
Now I’m healing
When it all hurt
And nothing was easy
Where were you back then
I was so lost
Under the make-up
I won’t go there again
'Cause I’m gonna stay here
This time I won’t break down
Not gonna lay here
I’m gonna make me proud
I’m not going in
Under my skin
'Cause it hurts less
On the surface
Am I talking to a stranger
If you knew how many times I’d trid to reach you
'Cause I needed you
And whn it all hurt
And nothing was easy
Where were you back then
I was so lost
Under the make-up
I won’t go back again
'Cause I’m gonna stay here
This time I won’t break down
Not gonna lay here
I’m gonna make me proud
I’m not going in
Under my skin
'Cause it hurts less
On the surface
Yeah
I’m gonna stay here
This time I won’t break down
Not gonna lay here
I’m gonna make me proud
I’m not going in
Under my skin
'Cause it hurts less
On the surface
I’m gonna stay here
This time I won’t break down
Not gonna lay here
I’m gonna make me proud
I’m not going in
Under my skin
'Cause it hurts less
On the surface
