All of my life I've been a fool
Breaking myself to follow your rules
And I beat myself up, when I can't find the strength
And I can't seem to change, the harder I think

Let me get this straight
Let me feel the weight of an ordinary day
'Cause I've tried to heal this thing
But you let me slip away

When I run away just let me run
And I take it too far by the time I am done
And I understand I'm thick in the skull
But I'm learning to love the sound of your call

Let me get this straight
Let me feel the weight of an ordinary day
'Cause I've tried to heal this thing
But you let me slip away

I feel rejection and I up my defenses
I look for healing in the human touch
When will I learn to face the consequences
Of trying to love you and failing so much
I'm trying to love you and failing so much

Let me get this straight
Let me feel the weight of an ordinary day
'Cause I've tried to heal this thing
But you let me slip away

Let me slip away, oooh

Over and over and over again
Biting the hand that's pulling me in
Over and over and over again
Believing the hand that's pulling me in
