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,

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 get to

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

Is locked behind your 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

I'm just dyin,

I'm just dyin,

I'm just dyin!

Instrumental Break

Reach out

Someone reach out to me

Cause I've lost my way

Sometimes we

Give into things, when we lie and cheat,

Say things

My life's crumblin' down

Time for me to pray

Hold me in

Deep inside, cause I'm dying,

I'm just dyin', I'm just dyin'
