Every time
the pressure starts to pile on
I paste smile on
just to please you

Grin and bear
may be a style you wear
but I don't care,
It doesn't suit you

Don't go crazy putting on a face that isn't yours
the one that you showed up in's more attractive
Don't crazy running 'round in someone else's shoes
Don't go crazy
Don't go crazy
Don't go crazy
before I do

Are you surprised
to find the camera never lies?
Let's point it in
the wrong direction
From what I've seen
your vision's never half as keen
Oh, but we'll come clean
upon reflection

Don't go crazy saying things you think I wanna hear
I don't need a mirror
I need a window
And don't go crazy trying to let me in
Just let me through!
Don't go crazy
Don't go crazy
Don't go crazy
before I do

Maybe if we figured out a plan
Maybe if I were a bigger man
Lately, little triggers
pull their weight in handstands

What's the point in second guessing
how we ought to live
I doubt that kind of thinking is productive
I'm lucky that I found you
but you're all I've got to lose
Don't go crazy
Don't go crazy
Don't go crazy
before I do
