Pssst!Β Β Hey, what are you looking at?
I'm over here.
You keep walking over me,
but we're attached at the heel

You can take your shoes off,
but we share the same soul;
barefoot in the ocean
or in ten inches of snow

I'm with you thick or thin
All that *****
can't hide me, and by me I mean we,
because I'm deep within.

How long will you keep talking to yourself?
You know everybody's looking right?
They're looking at you
looking at me,
while you try to convince the world
that you're not ******* crazy!

Don't you see that I love you man?
Everyone else does but you.
You stand in front of that sink a liar everyday,
And I stand there with you, tears in my eyes
and words stuck behind the lump in my throat
to tell you that it's gonna be okay.

You're not the only one here;
standing in front of this stupid mirror.
I'm right here with you, brother.
We love you,
but you
have to love you
too!
