lyrics

Smoke the evidence
before they all catch on
It’s irrelevant what they say when you are gone

Well you just keep on
telling yourself that, darlin’
Maybe one day you will come to believe it

You tell me you’re a monster
Maybe there’s a beast under your skin
And I’d be better off not letting someone like you in

Well you just keep on, telling yourself that darlin
Your words form your world you better believe it

Oh, oh no
Whatever helps you sleep at night
We all do what we need to get by
Tell ourselves the world is cold and dark when it’s full of sunshine

And if it helps you ease the pain
You’ve been living with for ages
Go ahead to cover
Or dance in the rain

I know this is hurting
Each of us in our own separate ways
But both of us are growing, honey
And everything’s about to change

Well I just keep on telling myself that darlin
Maybe one day you will see that I mean it

(I said) Whoever helps you sleep at night
I’ll do what I need to get by
But I can’t tell myself the world is dark (cold) I
Need the sunshine
Hope is what eases the pain
I’ve been living with for ages
Go ahead take cover
I’ll dance in the rain
