you’ve got the respect of others
but haven’t i been here before
stuck between success and failure
trying to guess the correct door

some of my flowers
well, they never quite blossomed
some of my hope
well, it has been forgotten

without you here
i am on the edge
and on the verge of tears

i break my back
but it’s not enough
i compromise my dreams
but it’s not enough

whatever happens,
i am still here
i listen intently
waiting for the cheer

alcohol by the keg
feet found once again
there at the bottom of my legs

they understand
they accept,
there’s a place,
where we can go

it seems to be working
then you tell me that it’s just a guise
in reality,
you are hurting

you undressed me from the start
took off the insecurity
the black cloak from my heart
