(rest of the song is the same progressions repeated, the rest of the lyrics are)
You heard his story now hear mine, I live inside a coward's mind
Where every dream I dream gets shot down all of the time
If I don't jump into the fray he'll mope around and waste the day
He's like a ton of concrete tied to me, tied around my waist
And he knows he has to but he doesn't know how
and he knows that I know he can do without
and I know that he needs it so bad,
but then I realize it's clear that he knows that
in the end, I'll never know what hides inside his..
Head, I don't wanna seem ungrateful
I don't wanna seem like I don't need anyone's help
to get me through these rainy days, to push through the haze
so I can get on my feet and I can stand up and do what it takes
