truth and lies

I know I shouldn't trust you
but I do it anyway
I think if I could see you smile
I'd make it through the day


And every time you look at me
I hesitate inside
When I fall down you pick me up
but I can't think of why


I know that you put on a show
and you're the star tin man
But I can't help but wonder if it's
really you who needs a hand



With all your broken pride inside
you just won't let me in
Honey you're the only one racing
but you still say you will win



People say it's hard to change
and Hell, I know--I've tried
But while you're stuck running in place
I've left and gone a mile


All I want is to be your friend
just like you've been mine
But when you're breaking down inside
you shut me out and hide



Just like you picked me up
I'd help you if I could
Because
I can't watch you self destruct


when I know I would have



if it hadn't been for you
