We all like to think we got it figured out for a change   And no more confusion, delusion or apathy   So get it right or get it wrong   I don't have the time to keep dragging along   It will be harder when you're gone      Love lies awake   In the middle of the night   I go tossing and turning   My soul is burning alive      I am just a man trying to survive   Trying to survive      We say that it's alright, we say that's okay for now   But no more excuses, the truth is too delicate now   But somehow we turn off the lights and go heading   Back out to the darkness and shadows of ourselves      Chorus      I am just a man      Why can't I figure it out, the way that I feel?   Why can I not find a way to just make a deal   To my head and my heart that keeps us together or tears us apart   Either way, either way      Chorus (x3)      I am just a man trying to survive   Trying to survive   Trying to survive   Trying to survive
