Searching for truth can be a fool's game Some people lie right through the smiles Don't rip the heart off of your sleeve And is it wrong to carry on with all you ever knew? The curtains drawn, you're hanging on to all you thought was true You know the answer isn't lost on you 'Cause I know the answer isn't lost on you You've got your own fight to choose And the world might kick you when you're down They count you out but you refuse You might lie bleeding on the ground Close your eyes, realize some hearts can't be sewn Your only crime is being alive, you know you're not alone You are the answer you've been looking for You are the answer you've been looking for Sometimes you know that it ain't easy On our own from the day we're born Don't let the bastards steal your soul 'Cause then you'll see you're gold, you're gold The world is crazy again She said it's never been sane, oh Here we are, you and me, tryna make the changes And I believe I can see a better time 'Cause you are the answer you've been looking for You are the answer I've been looking for You are the answer
