Convalescence

I know that you're scared
Doesn't make you less of a man
Swing hard, fall short
It's all part of the plan

Brother, take my hand and search this face
Look in these eyes, there is no shame
You and I, we are the same

I know you've been told differently
But there's nothing wrong with you that you can't fix
I understand you (I understand you)
It won't always be like this

We left that place so long ago
But I can't undo the knots in you
Things are different to the life we once knew
Passion, blind passion
Haunts our sense of direction
You don't have to carry this on your own
Let me help you let it go

He can't hurt you anymore
No more sunglasses to school
When you're told you're stupid your whole life
You start to think it's true
Our idea of love is so warped
It barely shines through
All the stupid shit we've done
And who we devoted it to

We left that place so long ago
But I can't undo the knots in you
Things are different to the life we once knew
Passion, blind passion
Haunts our sense of direction
You don't have to carry this on your own
Let me help you let it go

I know that you've been told differently
But there's nothing wrong with you that you can't fix
I understand you (I understand you)
It won't always be like this

I understand you (I understand you)
It won't always be like this

I know that you've been told differently
But there's nothing wrong with you that you can't fix
I understand you (I understand you)
It won't always be like this
