Livin' on the edge, I know its not easy
Why do you have to hide
Trying to pretend its all an illusion
But I know what's inside
Your cigarettes are always burning
The smoke gets in your eyes
You cough at the chance to let someone help you
You'd rather be left behind
For all the wrong reasons
You're feeling don't show
No one ever needs them
Tell me what you believe in
Tough kid don't turn your eyes
Tough kid don't try to hide
Tough kid don't you realize
It's only me only me
I know that I taught you how to lie
But sometimes we face the truth
It's easier to fight than it is to listen
I wonder what's the use
Every move you make is solitary
And still you're never free
Why do you run from your happiness
You know it could be me
For all the wrong reasons
Your feelings don't show
No one ever needs them
Tell me what you believe in
Tough kid don't turn your eyes
Tough kid don't try to hide
Tough kid don't you realize
It's only me only me
