Watching the world
Wait in the wind
Want you to know I'm in every damn thing
It never ends
Caught in a fire
Wondering when you'll tell me I'm the liar
Breaking my back
Wave the white flag
You call it red, with a plan of attack
Could you count me out?
Let me walk away
I won't have to hear what you don't want to say

In the middle of what I want and what's right
Take a piece of me and lay down for the night
How do I tell you I've never been sure?
I don't have the answer

Biding my time
We toe the line
Taking another match to the gaslight
Want it to change
But who will I be
If I can't depend on you poisoning me?

In the middle of what I want and what's right
Take a piece of me as you put out the light
How do I tell you I've never been sure?
I don't have the answer

Apologizing, compromising
Getting in trouble when I speak my mind
It's a serious matter
I can't help but laugh when we try to work through it
Isn't it useless by now?

In the middle of what I want and what's right
Take a piece of me and do it out of spite
How do we find out what this was all for?
Gave all we had and still we came up short
How do I tell you I've never been sure?
I don't have the answer
