I said we never have to leave it like that
Staring at the ceiling
Had another thing before you react
It's coming, I can feel it
You took issue, you said you feel attacked
Well, I'm not the only one to call you all night
I tried to push you, to see if you'd bite
I just wanna shake you, make you realize
I just wanna shake you, make you realize
I always want you to strive
It's just a messed up time
When you're feeling low like that
Ooh-oh, it won't last
I will help you strive
(It's just a messed up time)
I will help you
So if you think I'm being cruel or unkind
I promise I don't mean to
God knows, there's so much I don't seem to get right
Just know that I still need you too
And I still feel guilty, I wanna take it back
Maybe that's a sign we're on the right track
It's just so easy to get the balance wrong
We're not the kind of people who just play along
We're not the kind of people who just play along
I always want you to strive
It's just a messed up time
When you're feeling low like that
Ooh-oh, it won't last
I won't let it slip my mind
And if you're drifting away
I'll help you make the change
'Cause when you're feeling low like that
Oh-oh it won't last
I will help you strive
(It's just a messed up time)
I will help you strive
(It's just a messed up time)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I will help you strive
(It's just a messed up time)
I always want you to shine
It's just a messed up time
When you're feeling low like that
I know it won't last
(It's just a messed up time)
