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
Chorus
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
Chorus (x3)
I am just a man trying to survive
Trying to survive
Trying to survive
Trying to survive
