Lately I've been thinking Not about what you said
But what you did If you're behind it You decide
I'll survive I've been spending time Looking out
instead of in Gotta keep reminding myself Begin
means end

And I'm walking though the alleys In the morning
and I'm trying To do some thinking I've gotta
Know this time for sure

Tell me why I'm feeling pressured Tell me why you
feel alright But still I don't

I caught myself believing Every word that was
said And that's fine I'll learn To depend on
myself in time

'Cause I've made some quick decisions That just
barely left me with an opinion Or identity of my
own

Tell me why I feel below you Tell me why you feel
alright But still I don't

Would you feel like a stranger If I turned and
walked away? Would you care if I stayed? The many
times I've been Through this have I learned From
mistakes I've made? I may try and if I fall I'll
pick myself up again

I don't want your lines And I don't want your
sympathy 'Cause I'm trying to break old habits
And I want to do that on my own

Tell me why I'm feeling pressured Tell me why you
feel alright But still I don't
