[Verse 1]

I've built myself a wall

And I can hardly see

I'm drowning in a pool of mediocrity

Lost in the middle of the road

[Chorus]

I'll play it safely

To avoid failing again

But I still lose

[Verse 2]

Another compromise happens every day

Nothing's a surprise

It's easier that way

Lost in the middle of the road

[Chorus]

I'll play it safely

To avoid failing again

But I still lose

This indecision

Is tearing my life away

There's no excuse

[Bridge]

Stay away from everyone

And don't commit to anything

Everything under the sun

Can find a way of hurting me

Don't commit to anyone

And stay away from everything

Everything under the sun

Can find a way of hurting me

[Chorus]

I'll play it safely

To avoid failing again

But I still lose

This indecision

Is tearing my life away

There's no excuse
