"whats the difference anyway?"
I heard this old man say
He said, "been sitting here for 25 years"
Still nothings changed"
So i looked this man in the eye
I said, "mister please dont you cry"
"because youre tears will fall but no one will care"
The price you pay remains a debt
Eyes you dry stay wet
You begin to regret promises kept
And the only reward is that you get to be
Crazy like me
He laughed and said
"little girl, youve got nothing on me
"cause ive seen the world thrice over
Im not impressed."
So i took this man by the hand
I needed him to comprehend
Though my lifes been short my pains been long
And the price i pay remains a debt
Eyes ive dried have stayed wet
I begin to regret promises kept
And the only reward is that i get to be
Crazy like me
I saw a rain cloud form over his head
So ashamed at what i had done
I disturbed this mans peace of mind
He looked upset
But the he stood straight up and looked at me
He said, "i cant believe what you said
"you see, cause you sound a lot like me."
Okay, so now the price youve paid has been written down
The tears youve cried have touched the ground
And though all youve lost can never be found
If youre not careful you wont be around to be
Crazy like me
