Read My Mind

1. you can give me liquor
you can give me pills
something to make me sicker
than i already feel
you can give me laughter
you can give me hope
somebody to look after
when i can barely cope

but you can’t read my mind
neither can i
go ahead and try
tell me what you find
you don’t know my brain
strangely, we’re estranged
how can i explain
i’d never find the time
you can't read my mind

2. you can give me music
you can give me words
sometimes i’m scared i’m gonna lose it
sometimes words just make things worse
you can give me questions
you can give me space
somewhere i can learn the lessons i’ve been questioning how to learn in this place

but you can’t read my mind 
neither can i 
go ahead and try 
tell me what you find 
you don’t know my brain 
strangely, we’re estranged 
how can i explain 
i’d never find the time 
you can't read my mind

is made up
of the crazy stuff

you can’t read my mind 
neither can i 
go ahead and try 
tell me what you find 
you don’t know my brain 
strangely, we’re estranged 
how can i explain 
i’d never find the time 
you can't read my mind
