Promises you learn to keep your distance
It's your best defense and you've never looked a bigger mess
An attitude protects you from the world you view
But medicine protects the world from youAs though you had a good reason
As though you've made a fool of them
They told you now things are even
But you carry on the same old song, you carry onTell me why you ran away
What's the problem, you won't say
You're barely hanging on
From almost always maybe safe
Your family sleeps alone but you're awakeAre you okay? You promised us a reason
Now you hesitate and want to make amends
What happened to you
The things that people cherish you just throw away
As if you knew what you could haveAs though you had a good reason
As though you've made a fool of them
They told you now things are even
But you carry on the same old song, you carry onTell me why you ran away
What's the problem, you won't say
You're barely hanging on
From almost always maybe safe
Your family sleeps alone but you're awakeYou're barely hanging on
From almost always maybe safe
Your family sleeps alone but you're awake
You're barely hanging on
From almost always maybe safe
Your family sleeps alone but you're awake
