LYRICS
On the surface I’m alright
On the outside I know
I’ll never have to fight it
I just hide it (hmm, mmm)
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 makeup
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’m talking to a stranger
If you knew how many times
I’ve tried to reach you
Cause I needed you
And when it all hurt and nothing was easy
Where were you back then?
I was so lost under the makeup
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
Hey, hey
Ooh woah
Hey, hey
(Hmmm)
Hey, hey
Ooh woah
Hey, hey
(Woo-hoo)
Hey, hey
Ooh woah
Hey, hey
Yeah, aya
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
(hey, hey woa-oh)
