I hope one day I will grow out of this   Then I will leave this battlefield      Good or bad depends on your point of view   And I can see things from both sides   Just one more classic case of catch-22   Things don't have a simple truth      So you ask where this is leading me   Only I don't have an answer yet      Seeing things black and white is for the weak   I'm strong enough for shades of grey   While searching for the perfect compromise   I am driven to despair      So my thoughts are spinning around   For I know my problem well   And I wonder, will I ever get   Out of this carousel      You are trying in vain   To reach me with your hands   But all that I can say   Is I hope you understand      So I am caught between the chairs again   While everybody else does fine      It's just my nature to move back and forth   Always trying not to offend   I cannot decide whether to refuse   Or to reach out for your helping hand      So my thoughts are spinning around   For I know my problem well   And I wonder, will I ever get   Out of this carousel      You are trying in vain   To reach me with your hands   But all that I can say   Is I hope you understand      Meanwhile I'm trying to make up my mind   Feeling like I'm paralysed   What's the sense of it all, is it...      Because of you and I   Because of fear   Or just because of all   That I wish to have near   It's about really stupid things   But they keep growing until   They seem to tear me apart      So my thoughts are spinning around   For I know my problem well   And I wonder, will I ever get   Out of this carousel      You are trying in vain   To reach me with your hands   You ask for explanations   Until things make sense   Well, I don't have any   So all that I can say is   I hope you understand      It is because you and I   Because of fear   Because of all   That I wish to have near      It's about really stupid things   Of no major size   But they keep on growing   Until a part of me dies
