Lately I`ve been thinking Not about what you said But what you did If you`re behind it You decide I`ll survive I`ve been spending time Looking out instead of in Gotta keep reminding myself Begin means end
And I`m walking though the alleys In the morning and I`m trying To do some thinking I`ve gotta Know this time for sure
Tell me why I`m feeling pressured Tell me why you feel alright But still I don`t
I caught myself believing Every word that was said And that`s fine I`ll learn To depend on myself in time
`Cause I`ve made some quick decisions That just barely left me with an opinion Or identity of my own
Tell me why I feel below you Tell me why you feel alright But still I don`t
Would you feel like a stranger If I turned and walked away? Would you care if I stayed? The many times I`ve been Through this have I learned From mistakes I`ve made? I may try and if I fall I`ll pick myself up again
I don`t want your lines And I don`t want your sympathy `Cause I`m trying to break old habits And I want to do that on my own
