I kept talking to myself I had to get the words out of my head So I did You barely said a thing You kind of heard me out and then you said You said: "You're crazy, why do you keep doing this? Everything is fine." Then I think, I'm crazy I do this all the time Until I start to think that nothing's even wrong [Chorus] Maybe I am Hiding in my own confusion Maybe we're just A picture in my head Maybe what if it could be The way I wish it really was Maybe I don't want to see it The way it really is Sometimes your intentions Are totally impossible to read What does that mean? Sometimes even I Have no idea what I need I wish I did. I'm crazy Why do I keep doing this? Everything is fine. Then you think I'm crazy I do this all the time Until I start to think That something's really wrong [Chorus] Looking out my window At the big blue sky Lazy sun shining and so I run outside To look for you I look for you And then it starts to rain Maybe I am Is that the way it really is? Maybe we're just A picture in my head Maybe what if it could be The way I wish it really was Maybe I don't want to see it The way it really is [Chorus x2] Maybe I don't want to see it Maybe I don't want to see it The way it really is The way it really is The way it really is The way it really is
