lyrics

You say your life’s a wreck
You can’t change it now
Well it’s too late so why bother
So you stay in bed pull up the sheets
Shut out the world don’t offer

Now you don’t wanna do all the things that you love the most
And I’m biting my tongue cuz you’re being so bellicose

I try to help you
But words aren’t enough

You drink alone
You’re losing touch
with everyone that you hold dear
You put it off til it’s all too much
You’re sinking in past your ears

They pick you up just to let you down
They lift you up but where are they now?

One moment it’s all smiles the next it’s tears and frowns
I can’t predict your mood still I offer
Yeah let’s head downtown go for a walk
Gotta catch em all try harder

You got your head in the sand and too much time on your hands
You been thinking too much
I got my head in the clouds making plans so profound
Why don’t you be the judge

I know what you’re thinking
And I can relate

You feel as though you’re all alone
How could they understand
Don’t see the point in forging on
While chemicals bind your hands

They pick you up just to let you down
They lift you up but where are they now?

To take your place, what I would do
To ease your pain
Well I would take your place
What I would do to bare your pain
Your pain

Your light will shine through
Your hopes will bare fruit
Your words will ring true
Your light will shine through
