The Animal In Me - Riddles lyrics

I clench my teeth and my fist just to get by I fake a smile but it won't help anymore If I have better things to do with my time Show me the clock when I'm of and out that door I know I'm on my own I'll kick and I'll scream and I'll fight to find my way home It's give and take when the weight's on your shoulders If I could do it all again then I wouldn't And it's a long way down I tried and I tried and I pray my legs won't fail me now The pain was all in my head, now it's over Why should I care when it's easier to pretend? And I said, "Hey, life goes on and on Don't get caught up in the middle Of another stupid riddle if you don't belong" And I said, "Hey, life goes on and on Don't get caught up in the middle Of another stupid riddle if you don't belong" You don't belong I've been listening to things that I can't hear I've walked a mile but I've only moved an inch And I've been hiding from myself for so long But I'll be ready when I know the coast is clear I feel like giving up So don't hold your breath because you know I've had enough It's give and take to create what we wanted If I could do it on my own then I'd be fine There's no one by my side I'll pick up the pieces and then at least I know I've tried I'm not afraid of the ways that I'm honest I know we're running out of time And I said, "Hey, life goes on and on Don't get caught up in the middle Of another stupid riddle if you don't belong" And I said, "Hey, life goes on and on Don't get caught up in the middle Of another stupid riddle if you don't belong" You don't belong It's a long way down so don't hold your breath I feel like giving up as I fall to the depths of hell "But life goes on and on Don't get caught up in the middle Of another stupid riddle if you don't belong" And I said, "Hey, life goes on and on Don't get caught up in the middle Of another stupid riddle if you don't belong" You don't belong
