lyrics

I can’t be this person anymore; I feel like we’re headed for war
Tension is high, for sure and I know you know
We never saw eye-to-eye; I’m really not quite sure why
Something couldn’t satisfy and I know you know
But now the time has come; I’ve got to tell someone
I’m walking into the sun and not looking back
This was never the plan; I’ve got to act like a man
This aggression won’t stand and that’s how it is
So, where’s it gonna go?

My back is against the wall; you see, we’ve dropped the ball
Now, someone’s got to fall and it won’t be me
Life’s a catch twenty-two; what can any of us do?
This situation is screwed and we can’t get back
But I’m not here to attack; I won’t succumb to that
But things will fall through the crack and people will talk
I can’t control what they say; I won’t stand in the way
I’m gonna live another day and hope for the best
So, where’s it gonna go?

I thought by now you would have learned
I’m just trying to show concern
I wish, my friend, that you could see
Why it is I’m breaking free
What’s been done and what’s been said
Became too much and filled my head
I’ve got to get the hell out of here
I hope I’ve made this perfectly clear

It’s the bite without the bark; it’s the footsteps in the dark
I think I’m swimming with sharks and I should get out
I’ve stepped on all your toes; I think that everybody knows
It’s just the way it goes and I’ve had enough
So, where’s it gonna go?

I feel like I’m being bent over backwards…
