[Verse]

Here it comes, that old familiar feeling

Knocking at my door

I need someone to take me by the hand

And pull me from the floor

These troubles on my mind

I keep them all inside

It’s easier to lock them all away

And save them up for another day

[Chorus 1}

Things aren’t shaping up for me

That’s the way it seems

The pieces never fall in place

The way they’re meant to be

It’s so hard to keep things straight

When every time I try, I lose my way

And I find myself

Searching for a sign

[Verse 2]

Here it comes, that silent desperation

Gripping at my throat

It takes a hold and digs beneath the surface

No, it won’t let me go

And if you’d take the time

To read between the lines

You would see that everything eventually

Falls apart in the end

[Chorus 2]

Things aren’t shaping up for me

That’s the way it seems

The pieces never fall in place

The way they’re meant to be

It’s so hard to keep things straight

When every time I try, I lose my way

And I find myself

Searching for a sign

For something more

Oh no!
