|
I know that i have issues, |
|
I face them, I swear. |
|
Think I overcome them |
|
Then turn - they're still there. |
|
Wish that I was different |
|
I'd like to let go. |
|
But when I try to change |
|
There's my past, saying no. |
|
Maybe it's all 'cause of dad, |
|
His new kids, his new wife |
|
Or why not just blame mom |
|
Who's been nuts my whole life... |
|
When you've felt so alone since |
|
The moment of brith |
|
And you're struggled to find |
|
Your own true sense of worth |
|
When it seems there is no one |
|
Across this whole earth |
|
To depend upon, you carry on |
|
Just like you always do |
|
'Cause it's safer to rely on you. |
|
Oh, it's safer to rely on you. |
|
Seen a million movies |
|
All selling true love. |
|
Fantasies I'm not sure |
|
That I'm worthy of. |
|
Caution to the wind |
|
My heart's been on display. |
|
Still the end result is |
|
It's not gone my way. |
|
So when I date some new guy |
|
Who's a deadbeat or jerk |
|
At least I'm not so crushed |
|
When it all doesn't work... |
|
When you once, unafraid, |
|
Wore your heart on your sleeve |
|
And the ones that you loved |
|
Chose to just turn and leave |
|
Every day it gets harder to |
|
Somehow believe |
|
You will survive, so you strive |
|
Just to keep up your guard |
|
'Cause it's safer to hold every card. |
|
Oh, it's safer to hold every card. |
|
I feel out of control |
|
I feel safe on the ground. |
|
I go building up walls |
|
Yet I wish to be found. |
|
A true contradiction to which I am bound |
|
As I keep on spinning around and around... |
|
And I look at the people |
|
Who've worked it all out |
|
And I wonder why I'm still |
|
A bundle of doubt and sometimes |
|
I wanna just stand up and shout... |
|
\"Just commit and deal with it |
|
Before your life flies by... |
|
Don't let your life fly by ...\" |
|
But is it safer? |
|
Maybe it's safer |
|
If I don't try |
