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 

    
Tell me why I'm feeling pressured 
Tell me why you feel alright 
But still I don't
