So you need a replacement
I want an arrangement
Are you still alive
Can you walk in a straight line
And do you feel so fine that you can be right

Why does everyone have to be so strong?
Why does everyone have to be so strong?

Come and show me the fine times
You're reading the headlines
Do they make you sane
Will we all come together
Whatever the weather it all feels the same

Why does everyone have to be so strong?
Why does everyone have to be so strong?

So save me!
Can't you see that I've been swimming to shore for so
Long
So help me!
Can't you see that I've been going insane all along

And I'm open to question
So write me your best ones

I'll try to reply
Take yourself out of lifetimes
They'll never be right times so you want to cry

Why does everyone have to be so strong?
Why does everyone have to be so strong?

So save me!
Can't you see that I've been swimming to shore for so
Long
So help me!
Can't you see that I've been going insane all along

(Can you tell us how you feel today?
Is there something dying miles away?
Do you think that you can see the light?
Or is your world just kicking to ignite?)

So save me!
Can't you see that I've been swimming to shore for so
Long
So help me!
Can't you see that I've been going insane all along
