I’m too tough
When I should be weak
And I’m too weak
When I should be strong
I don’t know
How to get off this road
Cuz it’s the one
I’ve been traveling for so long
Do you know how long I’ve been falling?
Do you know how hard I have tried?
Do you know I’ve nothing to hold onto?
Do you understand the tears I’ve cried?
I’m too rough
When I should be soft
And I’m too soft
When I should be hard
I push away
Not caring where you run to
Then I reach for you
And wonder where you are
Do you know how long I’ve been falling?
Do you know how hard I have tried?
Do you know I’ve nothing to hold onto?
Do you understand the tears I’ve cried?
I have fallen
I have fallen
I say enough
When really I want more
And I say I want more
When really I am through
I killed my life
Through my lust for loving
And I killed my life love
By being afraid of you
But do you know how long I’ve been falling?
Do you know how hard I have tried?
Do you know I’ve nothing to hold onto?
Do you understand the tears I’ve cried?
