Preserve your energy And hope for tomorrow For second chances And perfect circles And it isn't the same thing As a living work of art It hurts to fake smile Takes time to fall apart I can't stress, you're not alone And we get frightened of the unknown And places no one wants to go when everything is fine What's the matter 'round here? What's the matter with fear? What's the lay of the land? What don't I understand? What's the matter 'round here? What's the matter with tears? What's the matter in hand? What don't I understand? It would be sweet To be completely astounded and taken aback What if love could hit the targets that we can't see What's the matter with that? What's the matter with us? What's the matter with me? Tell 'em What's the matter 'round here? What's the matter with fear? What's the lay of the land? What don't I understand? What's the matter 'round here? What's the matter with tears? What's the matter in hand? What don't I understand?
