and it takes you
forever to find out
what you have to do
to get out

and it breaks you
down into pieces of self
little pieces of self
without those tiny little lies
the ones that make you you

but I'm not going crazy
I'm not telling you stories
I think you need to hear
not trying to get by
on a infectious note

'cause it breaks me
and it ails me
when I see you so down
so incredibly low

yea it takes me
down to a darkly lit low
tearing my eyes into glimmering self
when I see you... and when I hear you
cry your sweetest dreams away

and I try my very best
and I try my very worst
to let you see... to explain, you see?
what you really mean to me

you're the one
the onliest one
the saddest one
always smiling

come follow me down the road
I'll try to show you where to go
to find out where you are
wherever you've been
and where you always never tried
to fit in
