Look at me   Stand up straight   Interrupt the things that don't make   Any sense at all   Any sense at all   Don't take long   Now it's gone   In between the lines and spaces   Now that it's been said   Face is turning red   You get so tired all the time   And I get so wired all the time   But you keep asking why       CHORUS   You're my only hope   Hold me up, stand me up straight   My only hope   Is it just a subtle joke   My only hope      Press the bruise   Beg or choose   Feelin' like a shadow    Of my former self again   Broken badly bent   Cut my nose off my face   In spite of myself   There must be something in the way   Something in the way   You get so tired all the time   And I get so wired all the time   But you keep asking why, I won't comply   I can't deny      CHORUS :   You're my only hope   Hold me up, stand me up straight   My only hope   Is it just a subtle joke   My only hope         With a secret smile   On an empty stomach   And the fish bowl feel   That you get for nothing   When you tie it on   And it pulls you under   Goin' down the drain   Is it all for nothing?      CHORUS :   You're my only hope   Hold me up, stand me up straight   My only hope   Is it just a subtle joke   My only hope   You're my only hope   Hold me up, stand me up straight   My only hope   Is it just a subtle joke   My only hope         There's somethin' in the way   There's somethin' in the way   There's somethin' in the way   There's somethin' in the way   There's somethin' in the way   There's somethin' in the way   There's somethin' in the way   There's somethin' in the way
