On The Borderline
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Remember when you told me in the morning
You said I was tough
Tougher than the average woman
But I guess that is not tough enough
'Cause when you left me on the weekend
I was crumbling
At the roots and the stem
Like a flower dying in the garden
Now you're gone
I have to strengthen up my little heart
Find my own way
Light my torch
And sparkle my own spark
When I wake up in the morning I feel very numb
But I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna tell myself every day
Get yourself up, get yourself up
Get yourself out of bed
This is a new day
This is a new day
This is a new day today
Snapping your fingers
Tapping your toes
You are humming a tune
You know, you know
This is a new day
This is a new day
This is a new day today
On the borderline from what is right to what is wrong
There I am and there I try, I try to carry on
And when I'm standing on a mountain I feel brave and strong
Yeah I'm gonna get through with or without you
Get yourself up, get yourself up
Get yourself out of bed
This is a new day
This is a new day
This is a new day today
Snapping your fingers
Tapping your toes
You are humming a tune
You know, you know
This is a new day
This is a new day
This is a new day today
I'm gonna change, I'm gonna change, I'm gonna change
Just the way I see myself today
I'm gonna change, I'm gonna change
But there's gotta be an easier way
An easier way to start the day
Get yourself up, get yourself up
Get yourself out of bed
This is a new day
This is a new day
This is a new day today
Snapping your fingers
Tapping your toes
You are humming a tune
You know, you know
This is a new day
This is a new day
This is a new day today
