We train all our lives   I stay in practice,   And keep my focus   But oh, I know…      That the way I roll   The way I show myself on the outside   It may seem cold,   But I have only the best of intentions    As I make them known,   You try and show yourself to a trained eye   As in control,   And always strong and self-independent       But you cannot do this on your own   (You've tried before and you're still alone)   And I don't have the strength that I had before   (Cause I've walked this road and I know where it goes)   You're too afraid to say it   And to ashamed to admit that   She's leading you on your way back home,   And taking you nowhere       You're here for my advice   But when I give it,   You refuse to take it   And oh, I know…      I may be wrong   But at least I showed myself on the outside   As being strong    By holding on to my convictions      And so I pace myself   And keep in mind that I have no way out if I   Leave you stranded on your own      You cannot do this on your own   (You've tried before and you're still alone)   And I don't have the strength that I had before   (Cause I've walked this road and I know where it goes)   You're too afraid to say it   And to ashamed to admit that   She's leading you on your way back home   And taking you nowhere       So I...   Left you passed out on the floor   And I…   Know it's not my fault, but I   Know you won't be alone for long    So I...    Wait, wait just a minute   Then make, make my commitment    For better or worse, I'm here for good       You cannot do this on your own   (You've tried before and you're still alone)   And I don't have the strength that I had before   (Cause I've walked this road and I know where it goes)   You're too afraid to say it   And to ashamed to admit that   She's leading you on your way back home,   (Cause I've walked this road and I know where it goes)   Down the path that we both know   Is taking you nowhere
