I could go against my nature Place a bet I’ll place a wager On the odds of my behavior I don’t fully understand Am I grasping at aversion Are you a doctor or a surgeon You are what you’re concerned in Worry makes the man Oh it’s simple and it’s hard To build who you are I don’t know the over-under It’s always one thing or another There’s so much to uncover In our internal land Am I creating a diversion ‘Cause I don’t want to be a burden You are what you’re concerned in Worry makes the man Oh it’s simple and it’s hard To build who you are It’s simple and it’s hard To build who you are Oh it’s simple and it’s hard To build who you are It’s simple and it’s hard To build who you are

You’re no stranger to this place I’ve seen these shadows cross your face And as much as I would love to watch you run I know it’s easier said than done You can’t reason your way out And your fear won’t listen to your doubt But if you can sit with it and breathe You can give yourself a reprieve Oh it’s no easy thing to do And every time you find your mind Spinning black and blue Remember you can bring it back to you It may take a thousand turns For this lesson to be learned It sounds like a long long road But this time that’s how it has to go Oh it’s no easy thing to do And every time you find your mind Spinning black and blue Remember you can bring it back to you Spinning black and blue So take a breath from your body to your brain And offer up the moment This moment’s for your pain Know that you can’t lose You have everything to gain So take a breath from your body to your brain This moment’s for your pain Oh it’s no easy thing to do And every time you find your mind Spinning black and blue Remember you can bring it back to you Spinning black and blue Remember you can bring it back to you

Here I am again I wanna be your lover you wanna be my friend A girl can’t catch a break Just a feeling she can’t shake And if I told you you’ve been going through my head Would it be better left unsaid Yeah I’d say so And if I told you you’ve been rattling my bones Would you leave me here alone Yeah you’d leave me here alone Have you been where I am Heart in your mouth with no place to land Oh boy I’ll keep this to myself But your big brown eyes know they don’t help And if I told you you’ve been going through my head Would it be better left unsaid Yeah I’d say so And if I told you you’ve been rattling my bones Would you leave me here alone Yeah you’d leave me here alone I just get a sense You don’t feel the same You don’t feel the same So I play defense And deflect the pain I deflect the pain And if I told you you’ve been going through my head Would it be better left unsaid Yeah I’d say so And if I told you you’ve been rattling my bones Would you leave me here alone Yeah you’d leave me here alone

Won’t you tell me what’s on your mind I’ve been guessing for quite some time And I just wanna know so I don’t get in the way I just wanna know so I know what to say to you Next time we talk Don’t you have any suspicions Especially given your misgivings And I just wanna know so I won’t get in the way I just wanna know so I know what to say to you Next time we And I just wanna know so I don’t get in the way And I just wanna know so I don’t get in the way I just wanna know so I know what to say to you Next time we talk Next time we talk
7.
Can you blame me for being confused I never know what you will choose And I don’t want to pull away But this time baby you made it too hard - too hard to stay This hurts me more than I show Maybe more than I’ll ever know Yeah you hurt me more than I show Oh it’s a process of letting go You think this is fun I don't feel the same Taking care to take care of the pain But I know that I paid a price For how many times - how many times did I tumble your dice This hurts me more than I show Maybe more than I’ll ever know Yeah you hurt me more than I show Oh it’s a process of letting go Of letting go This hurts me more than I show Maybe more than I’ll ever know Yeah you hurt me more than I show Oh it’s a process of letting go Of letting go

Shiny eyes, tell me what’s wrong I see you crying, I see you crying And I see in the tooth you’re long Still you keep trying yeah you keep trying You can say I don’t understand Or maybe I just know what’s true Keep on thinking that you’re God’s gift to man You’re out of your mind too Shiny eyes, what’s it like in there Where you think you should have a crown And I’m laughing ‘cause you think I care No no no, I just wanna look around You can say I don’t understand Or maybe I just know what’s true Keep on thinking that you’re God’s gift to man Oh boy You’re out of your mind too You can do you if you want to Act like it’s part of the plan God’s gift to man Oh man You can say I don’t understand Or maybe I just know what’s true Keep on thinking that you’re God’s gift to man Oh boy You’re out of your mind too Out of your mind too You can say I don’t understand Or maybe I just know what’s true Keep on thinking that you’re God’s gift to man Oh boy You’re out of your mind too Out of your mind too

Well look at you Standing on the curb staring at your shoes Wondering Which piece of your mind did you lose Well didn’t you notice Your standing on a dead-end street And you’re walking Talking in your sleep Do you know what you’re saying Or the games that you’ve been playing When it’s all been said and done You wake up you want to run run run Away from what you said and did Oh no no you never could have put up with it All these consequences were much too much for you to take And I had to watch you fall just to watch you break When you found out what you were saying And the games that you’ve been playing

A Distance 03:49
Every time I think it’s gonna change You manage to prove me wrong And you wonder why I don’t play your game Well I’ve been losin’ for too long A distance must be kept So I don’t get swept up in it A distance must be kept from What hasn’t happened yet I don’t wanna hear it I don’t want to be near it any time I don’t want to listen To the problems you divine A distance must be kept So I don’t get swept up in it A distance must be kept from What hasn’t happened yet Tell me again about the things that I’ve done That I didn’t really do At the end of the day you’ve always won Because it’s your mind against you A distance must be kept So I don’t get swept up in it A distance must be kept from A distance must be kept So I don’t get swept up in it A distance must be kept from What hasn’t happened yet
