We all like to think we got it figured out for a change And no more confusion, delusion or apathy So get it right or get it wrong I don't have the time to keep dragging along It will be harder when you're gone Love lies awake In the middle of the night I go tossing and turning My soul is burning alive I am just a man trying to survive Trying to survive We say that it's alright, we say that's okay for now But no more excuses, the truth is too delicate now But somehow we turn off the lights and go heading Back out to the darkness and shadows of ourselves I am just a man Why can't I figure it out, the way that I feel? Why can I not find a way to just make a deal To my head and my heart that keeps us together or tears us apart Either way, either way I am just a man trying to survive Trying to survive Trying to survive Trying to survive
