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 you

As 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 on

Tell 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 awake

Are 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 have

As 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 on

Tell 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 awake

You'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
