Kenneth - The Problem Lyrics

I walked on eggshells, tried to keep the peace
Held my tongue just to find some release
But the silence grew louder, a storm in my mind
A heart full of questions, answers I can't find
I tried to speak up, voice what I feel
But every time I did, it wasn't real
My concerns dismissed, my worries too
Left standing in the shadows, feeling blue
Every time I addressed what bothered me
I became the problem, oh can't you see
My words twisted, turned into blame
Lost in the echoes of a broken name
Oh
Try to find a way to make you understand
But my feelings were like grains of sand
Slipping through your fingers, washing to the sea
Every time I addressed what bothered me
I wore my heart out, tried to make you see
That the hurt inside was consuming me
But your eyes glazed over, no empathy
Just a wall between us, cold as can be
I thought if I was honest, we'd find a way
But honesty turned to pain, led me astray
Caught in a cycle, can't break free
Drowning in the depths of your apathy
Every time I addressed what bothered me
I became the problem, oh can't you see
My words twisted, turned into blame
Lost in the echoes of a broken name
Oh
Try to find a way to make you understand
But my feelings were like grains of sand
Slipping through your fingers, washing to the sea
Every time I addressed what bothered me
How do I heal when the wounds are denied
How do I trust when the truth is a lie
I'm standing here trying to make you see
That love shouldn't hurt, shouldn't cage me
Every time I addressed what bothered me
I became the problem, oh can't you see
My words twisted, turned into blame
Lost in the echoes of a broken name
Oh
Try to find a way to make you understand
But my feelings were like grains of sand
Slipping through your fingers, washing to the sea
Every time I addressed what bothered me
How do I heal with these chains
Walk away from this endless pain
No more problem, just set me free
To find the peace that was taken from me
I wear my heart out, try to make you see
That the hurt inside was consuming me
No more problem, just set me free
To find the peace that was taken from me
Every time I addressed what bothered me
I became the problem, oh can't you see
My words twisted, turned into blame
Lost in the echoes of a broken name
Oh
Try to find a way to make you understand
But my feelings were like grains of sand
Slipping through your fingers, washing to the sea
Every time I addressed what bothered me
