[Verse 1]
Dying on my feet
Sure beats living on my knees
These hands around my neck
They're gettin' tighter as you squeeze
I'd crawl across the water, baby, yeah
Ah, just to get away from you
Take my life, but make it shorter
Seems the least that you could do

[Chorus 1]
(Reach out) Someone reach out to me, cause I've lost my way
(Sometimes we) Give into things, when we lie and cheat
Ooh, yeah
(Say things) My life's crumblin' down, time for me to pray
(Hold me in) Deep inside, cause I'm dyin' on my feet

[Verse 2]
Life is hard
But I think: "Compared to what?"
Can't see the things you're gettin'
You deserve just what you've got
Will you still forgive me, baby
If I don't come back for more?
Everything that ever mattered, babe
You keep locked behind that door!
[Chorus 2]
(Can't judge) Things I don't understand, since you walked away
(Easy to) Feel this way, 'cause I'm back on the street, whoa
(Life is) A game you can't win, you can only play
(Here I am) Here I am, I'm just dyin', I'm just dyin'
I'm just dyin'!

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 1]
(Reach out) Someone reach out to me, cause I've lost my way
(Sometimes we) Give into things, when we lie and cheat
And we do, baby
(Say things) My life's crumblin' down, time for me to pray
(Hold me in) Deep inside, cause I'm dyin', I'm just dyin'
I'm just dyin'!
