Lyrics:
I know you; and that is for your good.
So you are panicked; gripping dishes tight.
You’re restless; you have lost the fight for
who you planned to be today and
all that you wrote out.
It’s a tangle; it’s a clatter of your heart to My floor but
it’s not only that; it’s—I know what—I know what’s next for you;
what it’s for.
Yeah, I know just what it’s for.
You think I’m distant; I’m not listening tonight;
there’s nothing that I want to do for you.
So you use your tactics and multi-tasks to pull through.
But it costs you. You used to dress in joy,
now you grumble and complain.
And gradually, gracefully fade away.
But I made you; I want you to stay.
I love you; don’t self-erase.
I made you; I love you—stay.
I know you; and that is for your good.
I made you; and that is for your good.
I love you; and that is for your good.
I’ll heal you; and that is for your good.
