[G]   We are [G]all a little crazy
We are a[Cadd9]ll a little weak
We [G]all are very fragile
when there's n[D]othing left [Dsus4]to speak [D]
no more [G]place left to run to
no more [Cadd9]tears're left to cry
will you [G]stand up for the right thing
or cont[D]inue i[Dsus4]n denia[D]l
I don't k[Em]now

Well, you [G]know I'd love to help you
You [Cadd9]know I'd love to heal
but with[G]out the hands of god
you will n[D]ever b[Dsus4]e reveal[D]ed
so take [G]off your mask of happiness
take [Cadd9]off your mask of fame
'cause we k[G]now that you've got problems
just like e[D]verybo[Dsus4]dy's name[D]

        [Em]               [Cadd9]       [G]        [D]
I[D] don't know why you're folding the arms of reality
[Em]             [Cadd9]           [G]              [D]
  [D] why do you break with every wave in your stormy sea
[Em] you know I'd l[Cadd9]ove to say
[G] You're doing f[D]ine but I'd be l[G]ying

So don't tell me everything is good
don't walk on bitter ground
I have seen you at your worst and I still love you when you're down
but I hate to see you live like this
I hate to see you cry
and I hate to see you tangled in her web of sex and lies

do you have a god you pray to?
have a god you love?
do you have some twisted theory 'bout the will from up above
do you wait for him in silence
do you wait for him in vain
do you think some crazy fool is gonna preach away your pain

I don't know why you're folding the arms of reality
why do you break with every wave in your stormy sea
why do you cringe at the wake of every godly treat
I watch you laughing at the brink of insecurity
you know I'd love to say
You're doing fine but I'd be lying

So why must you walk with burdens
much too big for you to bear
when you know it's not your fault
'cause there are saints and sinners everywhere
you don't have to smile
I can read between your lines
I read guilt and I read mercy
I read glory to the father
I read bitterness and suffering
and love for all your children
brokenness inside your heart
and scars too deep to see

i read pain from a young boy
whose father'd left too early
whose mother'd tried to mold him
into what she'd loved to be

I don't know why you're folding the arms of reality
why do you break with every wave in your stormy sea
why do you cringe at the wake of every godly treat
I watch you laughing at the brink of insecurity
well you know we'd love to help you
you know we'd love to heal
but without the hands of god you will never be revealed
you know I'd love to say
You're doing fine but I'd be lying
