Almost, Always Maybe

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
