Was it really so bad
Could it be so awful
Why are you so sad
Don't have to be so sad
So high on the shelf
You go off by yourself
Just define yourself
Justify yourself, yeah
You think your losing
No, not used to losing
This time your losing
No, you're not gonna
You're not gonna
You're not gonna lose me
Close your eyes for me
Stop for just one minute
Sometimes have to bleed
Yeah sometimes have to bleed
Don't close the door on hope
You have to let some light in
You're running out of room
You're running out of room, yeah
You think your losing
No, not used to losing
This time your losing
No, you're not gonna
You're not gonna
You're not gonna lose me
Oh, I've got a voice
That I have to use
To get me where I'm gonna go
You've got a choice
You have to choose
You say how high well how low
How low
How low
How low
You wanna go
Why are you scared
Don't have to be so frightened
Some things can't be shared
Yeah some things can't be spared
So high on the shelf
You go off by yourself
Just define yourself, yeah
Yeah justify yourself
You think your losing
No, not used to losing
This time your losing
No, you're not gonna
You're not gonna
You're not gonna lose me
No, you're not gonna
You're not gonna
You're not gonna lose me
No, you're not gonna
You're not gonna
You're not gonna lose me
No, you're not gonna
You're not gonna
You're not gonna lose me
No, you're not gonna
You're not gonna
You're not gonna lose me
