I use no exaggeration
|
I¡¯m plainly hanging by a thread
|
And I¡¯m running low on patience
|
But don¡¯t go blame it on yourself
|
|
I wish that I was in my right mind
|
But I¡¯ve left myself unnecessary chores
|
I make it bad when it¡¯s just fine
|
I was whole and sure and now I¡¯m clearly torn, ¡®cause there¡¯s
|
|
Nothin' left for me to do
|
Right and left both bring me to
|
The center of my deepest fear
|
Where the truth is oh so clear
|
Embracing inescapable truth
|
And that's Facing Up to You
|
And truth is so cruel
|
|
Continual irresolution
|
Keeps me shackled to the ground
|
And I¡¯ve been in dire need of revolution
|
For far too many days to count
|
I thought I was safe in the Hiding Place
|
But it sure is exhausting, livin' in chains
|
It¡¯s paradoxical in every way
|
Nothin' makes sense
|
I can¡¯t tell love from hate...and there's
|
|
Nothin' left for me to do
|
Right and left both bring me to
|
The center of my deepest fear
|
Where the truth is oh so clear
|
Embracing inescapable truth
|
And that's Facing Up to You
|
Truth is so cruel
|
|
I¡¯m beggin' myself to make something of it
|
I give up still unable to comprehend
|
My own true will...
|
|
Nothin' left for me to do
|
Right and left both bring me to
|
The center of my deepest fear
|
Where the truth is oh so clear
|
Embracing inescapable truth
|
And that's Facing Up to You
|
Facing Up to You
|
Facing Up to You
|
