I guess you're okay
You seem to feel better these days
I've known you for so long
I've seen your brightness go from blue to grey
You know that's true
You can shake your head but I can prove
I've seen things through your eyes
You think you win but in the end you lose
chorus
And there's no second guess
We take no second bets
Chances are we're a long way from happiness
Don't cover up the road to love
With words that can't express
The truth implies you're high and dry
And you're a long way from happiness
I'm one step behind
Looking out for you all the time
I'll put my faith in you
And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus]
