[Chorus]

I am the gingerbread man

Why don't you understand

What's keeping me alive

I'm the gingerbread man

Live in everyone's head

Existing in your mind

I'm the gingerbread man

Your very last stand

Not long and I'll be dead

[Verse]

I am the voice inside your head

At night I like to watch you from the edge of your bed

I was always there to understand

But you decide to grow up and forget me instead

[PreChorus]

Let's take a trip into forgotten lands

Where you could live to be another man

[Chorus]

I am the gingerbread man

Why don't you understand

What's keeping me alive

I'm the gingerbread man

Live in everyone's head

Existing in your mind

I'm the gingerbread man

Your very last stand

Not long and I'll be dead

[Verse]

I am all the books you've ever read

And I am all the memories of childhood friends

I never missed a single thing you've said

I tried so hard to make you see what I intend

You don't know what you're gonna lose with me

And a frown that's forever carved into your face

Will persist like your evergrowing disbelief in me

Why don't you take my hand and

[PreChorus]

We'll take a trip into forgotten lands

Where you could live to be another man

[Chorus]

I am the gingerbread man

Why don't you understand

What's keeping me alive

I'm the gingerbread man

Live in everyone's head

Existing in your mind

I'm the gingerbread man

Your very last stand

Not long and I'll be dead

[Bridge]

Can you bear the pressure

Can you keep it under control

Can you withstand the pressure

Can you keep it under control

[Chorus]

I am the gingerbread man

Why don't you understand

What's keeping me alive

I'm the gingerbread man

Live in everyone's head

Existing in your mind

I'm the gingerbread man

Your very last stand

Not long and I'll be dead
