Who are we kidding this love just ain't fitting no matter how hard we push
I'm tossing and turning each night, afraid to turn out the light cus of what we won't do
I'm trying to remember myself before I met you
Walking around like I'm under a cloud its no wonder my wound won't mend
When I catch your eye I am under disguise with a smile that burns me up inside
You don't need to say it, I know its too much to hide
I'm no good to myself but I'm trying to love someone else
Not sure where I stand when this hole in me fills with quicksand
I'm trying my best to believe I'm still a good man
I give you my thoughts like a boy that has tossed all his coins into a wishing well
And when it comes true, hope that you'll be like you and that I'll be like someone else
Cus I draw a blank when I need a good story to tell
I see in the face of a stranger the trace of a sadness too unique to know
And I wonder if they can see all the tears left in me that are aching to show
The world is before me but I feel like I've no place to go
I'm no good to myself but I'm trying to love someone else
Not sure where I stand when this hole in me fills with quicksand
I'm trying my best to believe I'm still a good man
I keep calling out but I'm not sure whos listening
I turn my eyes to the sun but they keep on blistering
Not dead yet but good lord is this really living
Should I give up a life for one more try
I'm no good to myself but I'm trying to love someone else
Not sure where I stand when this hole in me fills with quicksand
I'm trying my best to believe I'm still a good man
