lyrics

The mirrors in our eyes
distort the things we see outside
I want to hide, you want to die
we both feel selfish, we're both ashamed
And we are hopeless, seeking help
but what we touch just turns to dust
blowing back into our eyes
But we try

And my stomach's been in knots
rotting away inside myself
I can't find the words to say
and this is happening to everyone else in different ways
It's not your fault
I'm not even sure who you are
but I know we're falling apart
So close, yet so far

These words are murky like the feelings they're attached to in my heart
We fight so violently to rip them out, to make a brand new start
But they keep coming back to haunt us, keeping us awake at night
assaulting all our senses, 'til we've lost the will to fight

And we've been close to giving up, we've been praying for the time
But we won't let ourselves surrender, no it's not our time to die

I hope you know that I love you
I hope you know that I care
You're not one single person
You're every good thing that I've shared

We all seek something we've been denied, things we've never found
all these years that we've been searching, we've been wanderin' around
But if we ever can believe something's better around the bend
that we can make it if we try, that this isn't the end
my arms are open for your body, for your mind, for your soul
and I can't promise, I'm not perfect, I'm just here
and I'm your friend
