They mean well

They mean well They mean well You meant well when you loved me And I meant well when I tried You mean well when you hug me And I mean well when I cry And they mean well when they try But they just might not be well themselves I just wanted to know you Just as well as you know me But maybe if I was like you I'd be happy If I wanted to I could be just like you But maybe if I was like you I'd be happy I know it well So well I think you know it too I wish you well So well And you know that it's true And we mean well when we do But we just might not be well ourselves I just wanted to know you Just as well as you know me But maybe if I was like you I'd be happy I keep rewriting myself in your image Erasing the parts that don’t fit on the page But the mirror keeps showing the damage And I’m tired of playing this game What if being like you isn’t the answer? What if staying like me is the cure? Maybe we both need some answers ‘Cause meaning well isn’t enough anymore If I wanted to I could be just like you But maybe if I was like you I’d be happy… or maybe I’d lose me too They mean well They mean well We mean well But we just might not be well ourselves They mean well… They mean well…
