Well, I know
It ain't that bad (ain't that bad!)
When you dream of things
you know you'll never have (never have!)
Well, I thought I'd stop to thank you for a while
Cause you're dancing 'round my mind just like a child

And I know
It ain't that hard (ain't that hard!)
To carry on with love right from the start (from the start!)
But you can get by if you hold on to your friends
Ain't no use in trying to pretend

Oh yeah

Lord knows
Why can't it be? (why can't it be!)
That everybody gets to live young and free (young and free!)
But you shut down like a shadow in the night
Hanging onto something that you can't find

And I know
There ain't no cure! (ain't no cure!)
For a child that's been
left crying on the floor (on the floor!)
Running out of ways to make you smile
Glassy-eyеd and fucked up you checked out
Oh yеah

And I know
It ain't that bad! (ain't that bad!)
When you dream of things
you know you'll never have (never have!)
Well, I thought I'd stop to thank you for a while
Cause you're dancing 'round my mind just like a child

And I know
There ain't no cure! (ain't no cure!)
For a child that's been
left crying on the floor (on the floor!)
Running out of ways to make you smile
Glassy-eyed and fucked up you checked out

Oh yeah
