[Verse 1 - Mike]You know meI used to get caught up in everyday lifeTrying to make it through my day so I could sleep at nightTrying to figure out my way through the maze of rights and wrongsBut like you used to sayNothing feels like it's really worth itForget perfect / I'm trying not to be worthlessSince I last saw you I've been looking for a purpose / wellI met this kid who thought like I didHe had a weird way of looking at itThis is what he said Please rememberThis isn't how I hoped it would beBut I had to protect you from me
