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
