I know you hide your thoughts
Behind smiles and comforting lies
You stare up at the ceiling
Your soul transparent through misty eyes
I can see your heavy burdens
Chaos swirling inside your mind
The air is cold with unspoken distance
Why can't you see I'm by your side?
It's clear that you have issues
Tormented by hidden demons
But you could self-medicate
By establishing human connections
Use me! Use me as your mood-stabilizer
To substitute underlying manic conditions
My kiss, to turn pain into pleasure
My body, your security blanket
In the depths of misperception
You try to convince me you're "okay"
Well baby, the things I would do
If only that were true
But through your bouts of crazy
I'll still be here
For you

I know you hide your thoughts
Behind smiles and comforting lies
You stare up at the ceiling
Your soul transparent through misty eyes
I can see your heavy burdens
Chaos swirling inside your mind
The air is cold with unspoken distance
Why can't you see I'm by your side?
It's clear that you have issues
Tormented by hidden demons
But you could self-medicate
By establishing human connections
Use me! Use me as your mood-stabilizer
To substitute underlying manic conditions
My kiss, to turn pain into pleasure
My body, your security blanket
In the depths of misperception
You try to convince me you're "okay"
Well baby, the things I would do
If only that were true
But through your bouts of crazy
I'll still be here
For you
