[Verse 1]
I'm always there forever, I am
There between what I'm reaching for and the fingers on my hand
Blocking myself with things like words I shouldn't say
It seems I'm always standing in my way
Like the time I told you a lie
And I became the wall that stood between your heart and mine
I apologize but the truth is the truth don't ever fade
It seems I'm always standing in my way

[Chorus]
My way is the hard way, I guess
Guys like me say no when we mean yes
I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way

[Verse 2]
Why you stand beside me, I don't know
There's so many places a girl like you could go
I hope you see enough in me to make you wanna stay
'Cause it seems I'm always standing in my way

[Chorus]
My way is the hard way, I guess
Guys like me say no when we mean yes
I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way
[Outro]
I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way
I'm always there forever, I am
There between what I'm reaching for and the fingers on my hand
