dying on my feet lyrics

Dying on my feet
Sure beats living on my knees
These hands around my neck
They get tighter as you squeeze
I'd crawl across the water, baby
Just to get away from you
Take my life but make it shorter
Seems the least that you could do

Reach out
Someone reach out to me
Cause I've lost my way
Sometimes we
Give into things, when we lie and cheat,
Say things
My life's crumblin' down
Time for me to pray
Hold me in
Deep inside, cause I'm dying on my feet

Life is hard
But I think, "Compared to what?"
Can't see the things you get to
But deserve just what you got
Will you still forgive me baby
If I don't come back for more
Everything that ever mattered baby
Is locked behind your door

Can't judge
Things I don't understand
Since you walked away
Easy to
Feel this way,
Cause I'm back on the street, well
Life is
A game you can't win
You can only play
Here I am
I'm just dyin,
I'm just dyin,
I'm just dyin!

Instrumental Break

Reach out
Someone reach out to me
Cause I've lost my way
Sometimes we
Give into things, when we lie and cheat,
Say things
My life's crumblin' down
Time for me to pray
Hold me in
Deep inside, cause I'm dying,
I'm just dyin', I'm just dyin'
