[Verse 1]

Here I am once again

Self my only friend

Never good enough

Never can I bend

Slightest pressure breaks

Slightest stumble fall

And for goodness sakes

I always drop the ball

The mirror inside me

Is blocking my front door

And here I am

Writhing on the floor

Not able to stand

I just want some more

Take my hand

It is failing me

Take my weary eyes

Because they cannot see

And take all my goodbyes

‘Cause they don't mean a thing

I could never love

The way that you love me

You are all the things

That I could never be

That I could never be

[Chorus]

And now I'm sleeveless in the dust

And I must get there or I'll bust

But I have failed so much before

Does it mean there's something wrong with me or

Is there something bigger here

That's taking forever to appear?

Is someone waiting in the bend?

Or is it just another friend?

Another friend

[Verse 2]

Here I'm locked inside this box

With no hope to break the locks

I just hope the thrower throws

This box where only good things go

And I can't break out but you know

You can break in, it's simple

I succeed in drawing in

But I fail to keep them interested

Every time they run away

A piece goes with them while I stay

Not much left but petty change

Not much hope for the center stage

A kiss, a date, or simple blush

Are things that die before my touch

Things that die before my touch

[Chorus]

And now I'm sleeveless in the dust

And I must get there or I'll bust

But I have failed so much before

Does it mean there's something wrong with me or

Is there something bigger here

That's taking forever to appear?

Is someone waiting in the bend?

Or is it just another friend?

Another friend

Friend

[Outro]

Here I am once again

Self my only friend
