Spent a lot of time suspicious
never letting myself trust no one
couldn't count on nobody
to have any decent intentions
Paranoia is a lonely place
even when you're surrounded by friends
cause when you can't let yourself trust
you really cannot be one to them
So if someone shows up at your wall
to show you something good
please let them in
Cause everyone's been hurt
and everybody's suffered for a while
everyone's been healed
and everybody's had their chance to smile
they'll all hurt again
we all lose and we all win
and that's alright
but some will resolve to hide
content to watch their life just pass them by
Spent a lot of time wondering
when someone'd come my way i could believe
I thought I'd be better off to just give up on that
and never be deceived
I found out in solitude in your own mind
just ain't no way to live
and there ain't no way anyone
can ruin a chance you ain't willing to give
So if someone shows up at your wall
to show you something good
please let them in
