Hanging on a sidewalk close to the edge Wondering who would miss me if I was dead Cause nobody told me about mental health So I found a couple ways to deal with it myself And we bought right in We were desperate children Because imaginary friends Were still better than not having any friends Faith and ancient texts Were a decent substitute for confidence Cause when the house of cards comes crashing down No one's gonna teach you how to stand on solid ground They'll just laugh and ask "What took so long?" While the rest assume You're just another prodigal one And we bought right in We were desperate children And we bought right in We were desperate children Because loneliness is a gateway drug To bad politics and bad assumptions What else are we supposed to do When we can't find anything to hold on to? But we grew up We learned how to love We learned so much And we're never giving up And we bought right in We bought right in We bought right in We were desperate children And we bought right in We bought right in We bought right in We were desperate children
