Look at the mess we make
Locking ourselves away
On so many beautiful days
How can I separate
The songs from the mistakes
I know
Forgotten birthdays
I didn't call
I am working on my balance
As I'm climbing up the walls

People say to me
"You're living in a dream"
I never know the answer
I don't know what you mean
Let me down and let me be
Baby, can't you see?
We've got to love ourselves before
We can love anybody else

Look at we've sacrificed
Trying to realise
Our vision of paradise
But even if we're running blind
At least we can say we tried
To see all the signals and the signs
That flash up in the night

People say to me
"You're living in a dream"
I never know the answer
I don't know what you mean
Let me down and let me be
Baby, can't you see?
We've got to love ourselves before
We can love anybody else

Luckily, clarity
Finally is coming to me
Slowly, I can see
