The Balance

Well it seams to me
That life's not worth living
If everything seems to break down with dignity
I can't be held so responsible for these things
Hands tied
Your people get up and suspend life
Making the choices that I might
If I could escape to spend my life like you
Can I be someone else if I try?
There goes my window
What's it like to be you?
I want to hide in your shadow
In memory I pack up the feelings of the suicide
I'm dying to live for another time
A time when expulsion was all I wanted from you
And I'm not half what you're thinking of
Still got
Something worth speaking or is it
Something worth thinking
If all am I thinking of love
Can I be someone else if I try there goes my window
What's it like to be you I want to hide in your
Your shadow
No, no
Can I let go?
Can this be me?
Standing alone again
And if I let go
Am I still wasting it alone again?
With my hands tied
Your people get up and suspend life
Making the choices that I might
If I could escape to spend my life like you
Can I be someone else if I try there goes my
Window yeah
What's it like to be you?
I want to hide in your shadow
Can I let go?
Can this be me?
Standing alone again
And if I let go
Am I still wasting it alone again?
Oh and can I let go
Can this be me alone again?
And if I let go
Am I still wasting alone again?
Alone again?
Yeah
Cuz I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Standing alone
I don't wanna be
Don't wanna be
Standing alone
Again
I'm not gonna be
I'm not gonna be
Standing
Again
