Tender – Bottled Up lyrics

[Intro]
Bottled up, won't talk about it
Nobody needs to know
Nobody needs to know
Between me and my mind
Believe me, I've tried
Nobody needs to know
Nobody needs to know

[Verse 1]
Always your own
You were stronger than me
You wrapped your arms around me
But you'll never understand
Feel so alone, standing in a crowded place
What I'd give to know their names and how they feel

[Chorus]
Like a wave crashing over me
A rough sea lacking harmony
You are my peace of mind, got the best from you
A steady hand that guides me through
Like the gentle before the break
My own thoughts, they pull and shake me up
Finding solace in what's at stake
My own hands won't give or take enough

[Post-Chorus]
Bottled up, won't talk about it
Nobody needs to know
Nobody needs to know
Between me and my mind
Believe me, I've tried
Nobody needs to know
Nobody needs to know

[Verse 2]
Feel such a waste
Packing things in an empty case
But that, that look you got on your face
Tells me everything I need to know
Then I'll hold the door
Help you carry your things to the car
Tell me, tell me something you won't get too far
Before you come crawling back to me

[Chorus]
Like a wave crashing over me
A rough sea lacking harmony
You are my peace of mind, got the best from you
A steady hand that guides me through
Like the gentle before the break
My own thoughts, they pull and shake me up
Finding solace in what's at stake
My own hands won't give or take enough

[Post-Chorus]
Bottled up, won't talk about it
Nobody needs to know
Nobody needs to know
Between me and my mind
Believe me, I've tried
Nobody needs to know
Nobody needs to know

[Chorus]
Like a wave crashing over me
A rough sea lacking harmony
You are my peace of mind, got the best from you
A steady hand that guides me through
Like the gentle before the break
My own thoughts, they pull and shake me up
Finding solace in what's at stake
My own hands won't give or take enough
