Hard times, hard times
When I really need somebody to hold me tight
And tell me I'm strong
Last night, last night
You were really there for me, so thank you
For playin' along
Pre-Chorus
But I gotta be honest with ya, baby
This is not about love
I gotta be honest with ya, baby
I'm not above usin' you
to get me through the night
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
I don't wanna get caught in the current of my mind
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
Verse
An old man, an old man
Has got his little hands on the button
Feels like nothin' anyone can do
People out there crackin' up, crackin' up
And I'm just tryin' to keep it together
Notice that I feel better when I'm holdin' you
Pre-Chorus
But I gotta be honest with ya, baby
This is not about love
I gotta be honest with ya, baby
I'm not above usin' you
to get me through the night
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
I don't wanna get caught in the current of my mind
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
Bridge
Would you be my human shield?
Hold you so that I don't feel anything?
Hold you so that I don't hear the ringin' in my head?
Guitar Interlude
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
I don't wanna get caught in the current of my mind
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
I don't wanna get caught in the prison of the present time
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
Outro
Would you be my human shield?
Hold you up so that I don't feel anything?
Would you be my human shield?
Hold you so that I don't feel anything?
Hold you so that I don't hear the ringin' in my head anymore?
