They say you're only mixed up when you're mad
When you got problems at home
Like the garage was your dad
And that old Bronco led him on
That rat you said that left those bloody knuckles so, so high
Like an eagle flying home, landed black on your blue eye
What I need to tell you
You don't need to hurt
To make something you love
To tell you what you're worth
And you don't need regret
To guide you through the night
You and I were made to stand up straight
And read between the lines
You and I were made to stand up straight
And read between the lines
They say you only see things when you're sad
When you got a heavy load
When the doctor says you're dying
And your mama won't call your phone
Yeah, the only time you truly see
Is when you're all alone
And all your friends have reached that point
When they don't know you're home
What I'm here to tell you
You don't need to hurt
To make something you love
To tell you what you're worth
And you don't need regret
To guide you through the night
You and I were made to stand up straight
And read between the lines
You and I were made to stand up straight
And read between the lines
What I'm here to tell you
You don't need to hurt
To make something you love
Oh, to tell you what you're worth
And you don't need regret
To guide you through the night
You and I were made to stand up straight
And read between the lines
You and I were made to stand up straight
And read between the lines
You and I were made to stand up straight
And read between the lines
You and I were made to stand up straight
And read between the lines
