You've got a lot of problems
I tried my best to solve them
But mostly I've just made things worse

We've built a wall around us
Turn on the hose and drown us
It's only swimming in reverse

But you and I are fools
For thinking we could change
Someone broke the rules
And someone's making strange

Thank you for sharing your nightmares with me
Thank you for choosing to leave peacefully
Thank you for losing your last shred of dignity
Thank you for coming out

You came from Merriweather
Your parents stayed together
Both of them hating every day

So what should be repeated
When it can be defeated
We're smart enough to walk away

But you and I are fools
For thinking we could change
Someone broke the rules
And someone's making strange

Thank you for sharing your nightmares with me
Thank you for choosing to leave peacefully
Thank you for losing your last shred of dignity
Thank you for coming out

Happy he who hopes for better

You and I are fools
For thinking we could change
Someone broke the rules
And someone's making strange

Thank you for sharing your nightmares with me
Thank you for daring to leave peacefully
Thank you for scaring the hell out of me
Thank you for coming out
