[Verse 1]
If ever you had said to me before that I would lead this life
That I am living now I guess it's all so strange to feel the way I do inside
And have so much that I could feel some pride for in my life
So why is it that I feel like this
[Chorus]
How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me, I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to
[Verse 2]
I try and try to break away from all the hate I'm feeling
For everyone of you that's ever done me wrong
I need to justify the reasons for the way I'm living
I guess I can't 'cause I don't feel like I deserve
[Chorus]
How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me, I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to
[Bridge]
So now the waves they have subsided and my soul is bleeding
I can't take away all the shame I feel, forgive me
[Chorus]
How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me, I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to
[Outro]
Again
Again
Again
Again
