Demons underneath the smile I try to keep
It's like a shield to hide behind the truth
Slowly, by the weeks, pain turns to agony
And it's like a sea ascending into view
And maybe I'm not okay
Maybe I'm really worried
Don't tell me to be a man
Don't tell me to say I'm sorry
For being who I am
For being who I am
Oh, will you take my pieces
And fix me into something
From all the ruins that remain?
And when the buzz is over
Hang on and love me sober
Don't let me lose myself again
Heaven is a place hidden far away
It's in the core and child behind your sin
I tried to pretend my dark and lonely friend
Is just a thought, and I crawl into my skin
But maybe I'm not okay
Or maybe I'm really worried
Don't tell me to be a man
Don't tell me to say I'm sorry
For being who I am, yeah
Oh, will you take my pieces
And fix me into something
From all the ruins that remain?
And when the buzz is over
Hang on and love me sober
Don't let me lose myself again, lose myself
Don't let me lose myself again, yeah
When the fire is raging and what I need is rain
Don't let me lose myself again, oh
When everything is changing, help me stay the same
Oh, will you take my pieces
And fix me into something
From all the ruins that remain?
And when the buzz is over
Hang on and love me sober
Don't let me lose myself again, oh, yeah
Don't let me lose myself again
Don't let me lose myself again
Don't let me lose myself again, oh
