[Chorus]
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I still lose my way from time to time
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I promise I'll fight but I can't promise that I'll be fine
[Verse 1]
You treated the damage that I let reside in my fragile mind
With stitches and bandage
You took the fault in my scars and you made it ours
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel at home when you're lying next to me
But I fall apart when an ocean's in between
[Chorus]
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I still lose my way from time to time
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I promise I'll fight but I can't promise that I'll be fine
[Post-Chorus]
I can't promise that I'll be fine
I can't promise that I'll be fine
[Verse 2]
My life's been unravelin'
As my legs give way to the crushing weight
Of the shame I've been battling
You're my one true north when I veer off course
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel at home when you're lying next to me
But I fall apart when an ocean's in between
[Chorus]
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I still lose my way from time to time
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I promise I'll fight but I can't promise that I'll be fine
[Post-Chorus]
I can't promise that I'll be fine
I can't promise that I'll be fine
[Bridge]
Keep me in your mind
I'm spinning out of control, more than I want you to know
Keep me by your side
I'm spinning out of control, more than I want you to know
I survey the damage
Haunting me again, will it ever end?
But stitches and bandage
They're a short term cure until the pain returns
[Chorus]
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I still lose my way from time to time
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I promise I'll fight, yeah I promise I'll fight
You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight
I still lose my way from time to time
'Cause you saved my life more times than I'd like
I promise I'll fight but I can't promise that I'll be fine
