lyrics

why do you taunt me, again and again
would it kill, just for once, let me win
holding things just out of reach
I'm closer at least

why am I standing so close to the edge
why is the call of the fall so intense
don't give me that look just give me a push

it's selfish to think, that I deserve anything
I'd give it away to make a friend happy
I'm starting to think, my turn won't be coming around
for awhile

it's selfish to think, that I have so many things
I'd give them away, if it would make me happy
I'm starting to think, it's better to want
than to have

still I'd like to know for sure.

why do I do wake, with these hopes, every day
when I think I'm close, I'm really further away
and still I don't want it to end, at least I can pretend

it's selfish to think, that I deserve anything
I'd give it away to make a friend happy
I'm starting to think, my turn won't be coming around
for awhile

it's selfish to think, that I have so many things
I'd give them away, if it would make me happy
I'm starting to think, it's better to want
than to have
still I'd like to know for sure.
