Dying On My Feet
Dying on my feet
Sure beats living on my knees
These hands around my neck
They get tighter as you squeeze
I'd crawl across the water, baby
Just to get away from you
Take my life but make it shorter
Seems the least that you could do
(Reach out) someone, reach out to me 'cause I've lost my way
(Sometimes we) give into things when we lie and cheat, ooh, ooh, yeah
(Say things) my life's crumblin' down, time for me to pray
(Hold me in) deep inside 'cause I'm dying on my feet
Life is hard
But I think, "Compared to what?"
Can't see the things you're gettin'
But deserve just what you got
Will you still forgive me, baby
If I don't come back for more?
Everything that ever mattered, baby
You keep locked behind that door
(Can't judge) things I don't understand since you walked away
(Easy to) feel this way 'cause I'm back on the street, well
(Life is) a game you can't win, you can only play
(Here I am) here I am, I'm just dying, I'm just dying, I'm just dying!
(Reach out) someone, reach out to me 'cause I've lost my way
(Sometimes we) give into things when we lie and cheat, can't with you baby
(Say things) my life's crumblin' down, time for me to pray
(Hold me in) deep inside 'cause I'm dying, I'm just dying, I'm just dying
Sure beats living on my knees
These hands around my neck
They get tighter as you squeeze
I'd crawl across the water, baby
Just to get away from you
Take my life but make it shorter
Seems the least that you could do
(Reach out) someone, reach out to me 'cause I've lost my way
(Sometimes we) give into things when we lie and cheat, ooh, ooh, yeah
(Say things) my life's crumblin' down, time for me to pray
(Hold me in) deep inside 'cause I'm dying on my feet
Life is hard
But I think, "Compared to what?"
Can't see the things you're gettin'
But deserve just what you got
Will you still forgive me, baby
If I don't come back for more?
Everything that ever mattered, baby
You keep locked behind that door
(Can't judge) things I don't understand since you walked away
(Easy to) feel this way 'cause I'm back on the street, well
(Life is) a game you can't win, you can only play
(Here I am) here I am, I'm just dying, I'm just dying, I'm just dying!
(Reach out) someone, reach out to me 'cause I've lost my way
(Sometimes we) give into things when we lie and cheat, can't with you baby
(Say things) my life's crumblin' down, time for me to pray
(Hold me in) deep inside 'cause I'm dying, I'm just dying, I'm just dying
