What happened to me Oh it seems so long ago The cuts ran deep And the scars still show I live in the shadows Where it's been so hard to grow I'm still a servant in a noble man's robes You know my weekness girl, you know my kind You helped me see when I was blind It's a crime to live my life without you Serve out my years in darkness Inside these walls I die without you And when I close my eyes I'm caught in the balance Afraid of the hurricane I hide in my domain I need release from all this pain Please don't forsake me In these ruins of your home I can't wait forever Don't leave me alone I have a secret if you want to learn I will surrender in return It's a crime to live my life without you Serve out my years in darkness Inside these walls I die without you And when I close my eyes I'm caught in the balance You know my weakness girl, you know my kind You helped me see when I was blind It's a crime to live my life without you Serve out my years in darkness Inside these walls I die without you And when I close my eyes I'm caught in the balance It's a crime to live my life without you Serve out my years in darkness Inside these walls I die without you And when I close my eyes I'm caught in the balance

I can't think of getting old It only makes me want to die And I can't think of who I was 'Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry Can't look back, can't look too far ahead I got the point, I got the message I'm just a little bit caught in the middle I try to keep going but it's not that simple I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter Yeah, I'm caught in the middle I was dreaming life away All the while just going blind Can't see forest for the trees Behind the lids of my own eyes Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now A dream is good, if you don't wear it out I'm just a little bit caught in the middle I try to keep going but it's not that simple I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter Yeah, I'm caught in the middle No, I don't need no help I can sabotage me by myself Don't need no one else I can sabotage me by myself I don't need no help I can sabotage me by myself Don't need no one else I can sabotage me by myself I don't need no help I can sabotage me by myself Don't need no one else I can sabotage me by myself I don't need no help I can sabotage me by myself Don't need no one else I can sabotage me by myself I'm just a little bit caught in the middle I try to keep going but it's not that simple I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter Yeah, I'm caught in the middle I'm caught in the middle

You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the bone We used to fly like angels, now we're sinking like a stone You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing I been stabbed in the back babe And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go Going back to the kingdom of desire Going down to the valley of the gun I'm gonna stand too close to the fire I'm gonna fly too close to the sun They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed My sheets feel like sandpaper, and my pillow feels like lead But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea I'm sinking like a stone babe, that's how it's got to be Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing I been stabbed in the back babe And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing And oh, if I don't have you, there's only one thing left for me to do When you dig up God's little acre, you lose all peace of mind You stare into the distance, looking for a sign But that sign it never comes babe, your wishes won't come true You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go Repeats 2x I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
