Lately I've been thinking
Not about what you said
But what you did
If you're behind it
You decide I'll survive
I've been spending time
Looking out instead of in
Gotta keep reminding myself
Begin means end
And I'm walking through the alleys
In the morning and I'm trying
To do some thinking I've gotta
Know this time for sure
Tell me why I'm feeling pressured
Tell me why you feel alright
But still I don't
I caught myself believing
Every word that was said
And that's fine I'll learn
To depend on myself in time
Cause I've made some quick decisions
That just barely left me with and opinion
Or identity of my own
Tell me why I feel below you
Tell me why you feel alright
But still I don't
Would you feel like a stranger
If I turned and walked away?
Would you care if I stayed?
The many times I've been
Through this have I learned
From mistakes I've made?
I may try and if I fall
I'll pick myself up again
I don't want your lines
And I don't want your sympathy
Cause I'm trying to break old habits
And I want to do that on my own
Tell me why I'm feeling pressured
Tell me why you feel alright
But stil I don't
