Lyrics

Hey, my friend

Addressing a friend

I know you're keeping a lot of secrets

Acknowledging that the friend has secrets

We've got some things to talk about

Expressing the need for a conversation

What I see in you, I see in myself

Seeing similarities between the friend and oneself

What's that you're thinking about?

Asking about the friend's thoughts

Anything I should know by now?

Seeking information that may be hidden

Something that I should see for myself

Encouraging the friend to show something personally

And I believe in you, more than anyone else

Expressing strong belief in the friend


Oh, I won't call your bluff

Committing not to expose the friend's deception

Oh, I won't give away the things I know

Promising not to reveal personal knowledge

If you would slip under, I'd never let you go

Ensuring support even in difficult times


In chains you came at war with the devil that lives in your head

Describing internal struggles against negative forces

I know what it is to hate yourself

Understanding self-hatred

I know how it feels to want to be someone else

Empathizing with the desire for a different identity

All of the things you say

Recognizing the friend's expressed thoughts

Swallow the hurt, it is your poison

Advising to endure pain as a self-destructive force

The days are short and they move too fast

Commenting on the fleeting nature of time

The things that you tell me, I tell myself

Acknowledging self-reflection in the friend's words


Oh, I won't call your bluff

Reiterating the commitment not to expose deception

Oh, I won't give away the things I know

Reaffirming the promise to keep personal knowledge private

If you would slip under, I'd never let you go

Reassuring support in challenging times

When you feel like giving up

Offering assistance when the friend feels overwhelmed

When every day weighs heavy on your soul

Acknowledging the heaviness of daily struggles

If you would slip under, I'd never let you go

Ensuring unwavering support even in difficult moments


I watched you cry for help, reach out your hand

Observing the friend's plea for help and subsequent withdrawal

And then turn your back around

Noting the friend's conflicting actions

Everything I see in you, I see in myself

Reiterating the self-identification with the friend


Hey, my friend

Addressing the friend again

I know that you've got some trouble ahead

Acknowledging anticipated troubles for the friend

The road was straight but it starts winding

Commenting on the unpredictability of life

And you're just there spinning along with it

Describing the friend's disoriented state


Oh, I won't call your bluff

Reaffirming the commitment not to expose deception

Oh, I won't give away the things I know

Reiterating the promise to keep personal knowledge private

If you would slip under, I'd never let you go

Ensuring support even in difficult times

When you feel like giving up

Offering assistance when the friend feels overwhelmed

When every day weighs heavy on your soul

Acknowledging the heaviness of daily struggles

If you would slip under, I'd never let you go

Ensuring unwavering support even in difficult moments
