Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a nice, nice guy
But I tried and tried and I don't know why
'Cause when I put my head down sleeping
I got this tiny little feeling creeping in the night
[Verse 2]
I'm not gonna say there ain't no grey, grey days
But it's cloudy in the best of times
Getting tired of wasting worries
Why not let the worries worry for themselves for a change?
[Verse 3]
Here's some fighting words for the sleeping
I heard the bells were ringing in the night
I know that you can hear them knocking
Banging at your doors
[Verse 4]
Why don't you want to answer anymore?
'Cause I won't let you down
[Verse 5]
So, good morning
Oh, good morning
Good afternoon
[Verse 6]
Day by day
Watched you wandering in the streets
Smiling through the window shield
How you doing today?
Are you sitting in the madman's hands again?
I want you to know
You ain't alone
[Verse 7]
I know I saw something sinking in the back of your eyes
Hope it wasn't hope that was hoping
Hoping for the very last time
Hard to be optimistic, realistic at the very same time
Why can't we meet in the middle sometimes?
[Verse 8]
I know that I heard you screaming
You were screaming in the night
And I know the water's rising past your knees
I'm not gonna lie and it's so damn easy tonight
[Verse 9]
Aren't you getting tired of wrapping sugar around your ears?
'Cause all the flashy people putting the candy in their eyes
And all I wanna do
Is lay there next to you
Instead of staring at the black mirror all night long
[Verse 10]
The only remedy is don't panic here, my dear
And the only thing I'll tell you
You ain't alone here anymore
[Verse 11]
Day by day
As you're wandering through the streets
Smiling like it isn't real
How you doing today?
Are you sitting in the madman's hands again?
What you doing?
In the madman's hands
In the madman's hands today
[Verse 12]
No, I don't want to let you down
No, I don't wanna let you down
No, I don't wanna let you down
