As life goes down its twisted path Some things never change The story's been so overplayed for me What now to think It's strange to hear you say A comfort known too well, it's not good bye, it's just a phrase Give me reason, give me something to Something to keep from burning out Keep holding on to expectations gone bad Riding on this fence of disbelief Stop saying "I" The long and short of it – lost without translation That you've used to cover up Whenever it's too cold outside It died just like the scene An uphill battle fought without the wars and broken dreams If it's reason, give me something to Something to keep from burning out Keep holding on to expectations gone bad Riding on this fence of disbelief Stop saying "I" We take a long road back and We find it all there, we find it all there In a room where you can hear unsteady tapping from an old man, He's coming home and, he still tries to sing No one ever understands his songs… If it's reason, give me something to Something to keep from burning out Keep holding on to expectations gone bad Riding on this fence of disbelief Stop saying "I" (Stop saying "I") Don't you want to I think you need too I don't want to I'll never need to Ever stop to wonder who am I Stop saying "I"
