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
