The Gingerbread Man

I am the gingerbread man Why don't you understand What's keeping me alive I'm the gingerbread man Live in everyone's head Existing in your mind I'm the gingerbread man Your very last stand Not long and I'll be dead I am the voice inside your head At night I like to watch you from the edge of your bed I was always there to understand But you decide to grow up and forget me instead Let's take a trip into forgotten lands Where you could live to be another man I am the gingerbread man Why don't you understand What's keeping me alive I'm the gingerbread man Live in everyone's head Existing in your mind I'm the gingerbread man Your very last stand Not long and I'll be dead I am all the books you've ever read And I am all the memories of childhood friends I never missed a single thing you've said I tried so hard to make you see what I intend You don't know what you're gonna lose with me And a frown that's forever carved into your face Will persist like your evergrowing disbelief in me Why don't you take my hand and We'll take a trip into forgotten lands Where you could live to be another man I am the gingerbread man Why don't you understand What's keeping me alive I'm the gingerbread man Live in everyone's head Existing in your mind I'm the gingerbread man Your very last stand Not long and I'll be dead Can you bear the pressure Can you keep it under control Can you withstand the pressure Can you keep it under control I am the gingerbread man Why don't you understand What's keeping me alive I'm the gingerbread man Live in everyone's head Existing in your mind I'm the gingerbread man Your very last stand Not long and I'll be dead
