[Verse 1]
Cheering me up, one and the same
As cheering me on, I wanna feel like myself again
I only wanted to be the song
Everyone played, but they're singin' it wrong

[Chorus]
Please keep cheering for me

[Verse 2]
I love the way you decide to
Let the forces take you
You really put your back into it
That kind of hand used to open
When I came around, but now it turns me down

[Chorus]
Please keep cheering for me
Please see past the nothing

[Bridge]
There aren't any windows
In the building where they punish you
There are mirrors in a dark room
I thought I'd be getting out soon
But I'm afraid to make my feelings right
So I get empty looks and passive sighs
I'm far too guilty to apologize
Suppose I'll mend it on the second try

[Chorus]
Please keep cheering for me
Please see past the nothing
