Walkin around tryin' to live your life
like everything's normal and everything's right
and it doesn't matter if it's dark or light
and everything doesn't get quiet at night
Afraid to remember, afraid to forget
You think there's a wrong way or right way to feel it
You'd leave your heart open but you think you might spill it
Cousin I've been there before
It's hard to imagine there's anything else or anything more
Do I do this for you, do I do it for me
I suppose you're a mirror and I guess I will see
all that lies underneath
all the lies I believe
What would you say if I promised again
that this hell's not forever, yes I'm sure it will end
They say it's eternal, but they say that in fear
If they said it in love, would it all disappear
Cousin I've been there before
I said it in love then I laughed at myself
'til I cried to my core
And I'm here to tell you there's more
So you do what you will honey
please understand
that the water was froze but the river still ran
So open your hear when you can
I know you'll open your heart when you can
