Hard times, hard times

When I really need somebody to hold me tight

And tell me I'm strong

Last night, last night

You were really there for me, so thank you

For playing along

But I gotta be honest with you, baby

This is not about love

I gotta be honest with you, baby

I'm not above using ya

To get me through the night

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts

I don't wanna get caught in the current of my mind

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts (oooh)

An old man, an old man

Has got his little hands on the

Button feels like nothing anyone can do

People out there are cracking up, cracking up

And I'm just trying to keep it together

Notice that I feel better when I'm holding you

But I gotta be honest with you, baby

This is not about love

I gotta be honest with you, baby

You're here to help rid me of

The demons of the night

Baby, dont leave me alone with my thoughts

I don't wanna get caught in the current of my mind

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts (oooh)

Would you be my human shield?

Hold you so I don't feel anything

Hold you so that I don't hear the ringing in my head

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts (ooh)

I don't wanna get caught in the current of my mind (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts (oooh)

I don't wanna get caught in the

Prison of the present time (ooh ooh, ooh)

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts

Would you be my human shield?

Hold you up so I don't feel anything

Would you be my human shield?

Hold you so that I don't fear anything

Hold you so that I don't hear the ringing in my head

Anymore
