Are you the one inside the house up on the hill,
counting cars and taking pills to escape?
Inside your room you have a hundred TV screens,
all the people that you need look the same
You're not alone and it's alright
You don't need to hurt yourself to feel alive
Don't you run, and don't you hide
You're a teenage punching bag in another life
There's nothing left to lose,
nothing left to prove tonight
You hold your breath until the demons run away,
and it hurts like hell to have to wait
Outside your house the world is bursting at the seams,
but you hold onto your dreams in case
You're not alone and it's alright
You don't need to hurt yourself to feel alive
Don't you run, and don't you hide
You're a teenage punching bag in another life
There's nothing left to lose,
nothing left to prove tonight
There's nothing left to prove,
nothing left to lose tonight
But it hurts like hell,
it hurts like hell to have to wait
It hurts like hell,
it hurts like hell to have to wait
You're not alone and it's alright
You don't need to hurt yourself to feel alive
Don't you run, and don't you hide
You're a teenage punching bag in another life
There's nothing left to lose,
nothing left to prove tonight
There's nothing left to lose,
nothing left to prove tonight
Don't hurt yourself,
and don't hurt yourself tonight
Don't hurt yourself,
and don't hurt yourself tonight
