The door's sliding shut and I don't choose to hold on
I know I can try but suddenly give up
Then I sit by the door because I can't seem to move
My thoughts are spinning but my hands freeze at the knob
And even though I know life never ever goes the way we imagined
And even though I know it seems the whole world works against me
And even though I know it will never be easier for me
I keep trying to hold on
The door's sliding shut and I don't choose to hold on
I know I can try but suddenly give up
I fall to the floor and lean against the door
As I gaze out the door and watch the rest of the world continue on
No one waits for you
No one asks for you
And even though I know life never ever goes the way we imagined
And even though I know it seems the whole world works against me
And even though I know it will never be easier for me
I keep finding a way to hold on for my dear life
No matter how hard it is to find something to grip on to
I somehow find a handle at the end of the line
But to find that handle is a journey alone
And to grip onto it is easier for anyone but me
I always seem to lose my grip
Always slip away; run too fast
Run away
Without the thing I need to be holding close to me
And even though I know it'll never be easier for me
I know I learn the hard way better than any way
And even though I know it'll never be easier for me
I always seem to find a way to make it back on to my own two feet
Even alone; no one else will hold me up
At the worst times
I always seem to find away to keep myself alive
And the answer is in my hands tonight
The answer is in my hands tonight
