Sink or swim is the only way I learn If I play with fire i'm bound to get burned But I don't want to hurt myself If it can be helped And I don't want to be with people better than myself And I'll see you I can see in the dark now And I'll hear you I can speak from the heart now And I'll be there I can walk in my sleep now The fire's on the outside of the wall I think i've come to the end of my rope I'm sick of waiting on the promises and hope But I don't want to hurt myself If it can be helped And I don't want to be with people better than myself
