[Intro: MOD SUN]
You let me in, you're my shelter from everything
My medicine, so much better than therapy
[Verse 1: MOD SUN]
I'm swerving into oncoming traffic
Then you grab the wheel
I'm turning into what I hate
So broken, but you help me heal
[Pre-Chorus: MOD SUN]
When all my bright sides are turning so dark
And the night feels like forever
When I am cold and I'm falling apart
You safety-pin me back together
[Chorus: MOD SUN]
You let me in, you're my shelter from everything
My medicine, so much better than therapy
When I'm feelin' like shit, wanna drive off a cliff
When I hate my own skin, you take care of me
You let me in, you're my shelter from everything
[Verse 2: Avril Lavigne, MOD SUN, Both]
Suddenly, I contemplate
What it's like to breathe underwater (Breathe underwater)
I orchestrate a sad parade
The end doesn't seem so much farther
[Pre-Chorus: Avril Lavigne & MOD SUN, MOD SUN]
When all my bright sides are turning so dark (So dark)
And the night feels like forever
When you are cold and you're falling apart
I'll safety-pin you back together (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Avril Lavigne & MOD SUN, MOD SUN]
You let me in (You let me in), you're my shelter from everything
My medicine (My medicine), so much better than therapy (So much better)
When I'm feelin' like shit, wanna drive off a cliff
When I hate my own skin, you take care of me
You let me in (You let me in), you're my shelter from everything
[Bridge: MOD SUN & Avril Lavigne]
Oh-ooh-oh, oh-ooh-oh
Please don't ever go, go
Please, don't ever go
[Chorus: MOD SUN, Avril Lavigne, Both]
You let me in, you're my shelter from everything (Everything)
My medicine, so much better than therapy
When I'm feelin' like shit (Like shit), wanna drive off a cliff (Off a cliff)
When I hate my own skin, you take care of me (You take care of me)
You let me in, you're my shelter from everything
[Outro: MOD SUN & Avril Lavigne]
Oh-ooh-oh (Oh-woah), oh-ooh-oh (Oh-woah)
Please, don't ever go, go
Please, don't ever go
