Back in the day, wasted away
Doubted myself, empty and grey
Stuck in a rut, but I made it out
This is how I felt, though now I'm better off
No, I'm not like this anymore
And I know I got my foot in the door
But I can't pretend that all is well
When the emptiness inside comes back from time to time
I can't pretend that I'm still standing at the edge
I can't pretend that I'm still standing at the edge when everything feels like it's just fine
There is something that's not quite right
The man I wanna be knows that I have to go all the way in
Making my way, on to better days
No more feeling grey, no more losing faith
Breaking all the chains, rid myself of all constraints
This is how I feel, though life gets in the way
No, I'm not like this all the time
And I know I there's so much doubt in my mind
And I can't pretend that all is well
Cause the emptiness inside still returns from time to time
I can't pretend that I'm still standing at the edge
I can't pretend that I'm still standing at the edge when everything feels like it's just fine
There is something that's not quite right
The man I wanna be knows that I have to go all the way
Got my work cut out
Feels like I'm not that strong
When I'm too caught up the moment
Did not go further than I'd been before
Maybe I'm better off knowing everything's gone wrong
Yet I hope I can do the right thing
But I'm not sure
I can't pretend that I'm still standing at the edge (standing at the edge)
I can't pretend that I'm still standing at the edge when everything feels like it's just fine
There is something that's not quite right
The man I wanna be knows that I have to go all the way
I can't pretend that I'm still standing at the edge (I'm not sure)
I can't pretend that I'm still standing at the edge when everything feels like it's just fine
There is something that's not quite right
The man I wanna be knows that I have to go all the way in
