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
