Never said that it was perfect
Better yet, I never said nothin'
Always dancin' round the subject
I’d avoid at all costs
Runnin' miles just to forget
And I couldn’t let myself admit the truth
Comin' clean was just a prospect
And I’d never pull through
You have turned me into a hermit crab
I’m so damn ashamed of the way I let you treat me And now that I’ve become your punching bag
I don’t wanna talk, don’t wanna feel, you see
You’re keepin' me Bottled up, bottled up Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
Bottled up, bottled up Bottled up, bottled up Oh, you keep my pain in a jar
Had me sealed up from the start
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
(Bottled up, bottled up)
Never said that I was stable
But then again, never said the opposite
Rather steer clear of a label
Than speak the truth
You have turned me into a hermit crab
I’m so damn ashamed of the way I let you treat me And now that I’ve become your punching bag
I don’t wanna talk, don’t wanna feel, you see
You’re keepin' me Bottled up, bottled up Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
Bottled up, bottled up Bottled up, bottled up Oh, you keep my pain in a jar
Had me sealed up from the start
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
(Bottled up, bottled up)
You keep my pain in a jar
Had me sealed up from the start
You’re keeping me Bottled up, bottled up Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
Bottled up, bottled up Bottled up, bottled up Oh, you keep my pain in a jar
Had me sealed up from the start
Bottled up, bottled up, yeah
(Bottled up, bottled up)
