Sometimes it feels like my life’s a battle And I think I’m losing my mind When all that surrounds me is made of shadows I’m just a lost soul that’s made of paper But your touch can color the white And bring back the beauty into my life ‘Cause it’s a mad world but it’s crazy Crazy how you make the bad turn to amazing And I don’t want to lose this now I don’t want to lose this now No, I don’t want to lose this now ‘Cause it’s a mad world Were both strangers finding our way together Like two lights that dance through the dark We shine bright and fade out into forever And I’m trying to hold back the way I’m feeling But you make me come back to life Yeah, you’ve got me going insane tonight (tonight, tonight) ‘Cause it’s a mad world but it’s crazy Crazy how you make the bad turn to amazing And I don’t want to lose this now I don’t want to lose this now No, I don’t want to lose this now ‘Cause it’s a mad world ‘Cause it’s a mad world, oh oh
