Chain Of Strength Hurts To Ask Lyrics

this quiet panic
yeah, that i feel
its a pain inside
that wont go away
but sometimes, sometimes
it can hit so hard, so hard
its like im the only one
when it comes down
i pretend that im so strong
what could i do?
and just when i think
that the words i hear could mean so much
now here it comes again
i never could quite understand
i never could quite figure it out
how could i sense this desperate tone?
how could it be so intense?
when theres nothing at all
its in my thoughts
its in my mind
its in my soul
and it hurts to ask...
