Here I am once again
Self my only friend
Never good enough
Never can I bend
Slightest pressure breaks
Slightest stumble fall
And for goodness sakes
I always drop the ball
The mirror inside me
Is blockin' my front door
And here I am
Writhing on the floor
Not able to stand
I just want some more
Take my hand
It is failing me
Take my weary eyes
Because they cannot see
And take all my goodbyes
Cause they don't mean a thing
I could never love
The way that You love me
You are all the things
That I could never be

And now I'm sleeveless in the dust
And I must get there or I'll bust
But I have failed so much before
Does it mean there's something wrong with me or
Is there something bigger here
That's taking forever to appear
Is someone waiting in the bend
Or is it just another friend

Here I'm locked inside this box
With no hope to break the locks
I just hope the thrower throws
This box where only good things go
And I can't break out but you know
You can break in, it's simple
I succeed in drawing in
But I fail to keep them interested
Every time they run away
A piece goes with them while I stay
Not much left but petty change
Not much hope for the center stage
A kiss, a date, or simple blush
Are things that die before my touch

And now I'm sleeveless in the dust
And I must get there or I'll bust
But I have failed so much before
Does it mean there's something wrong with me or
Is there something bigger here
That's taking forever to appear
Is someone waiting in the bend
Or is it just another friend
