The Price

Hey there, sweetie pie Won't you hold my hand tonight It feels like the world is beating me down The world sees black and white You're either wrong or you're either right And right now I feel somewhere in the middle I've made mistakes and paid the price I've done the kind thing once or twice They want me perfect... but how? Everyone's mouth spits out lies They always want but they never try Then there's me sitting in the rain I always try but don't succeed I'll love someone who won't love me Why can't I catch a break? I've made mistakes and paid the price I've done the kind thing once or twice They want me perfect... but how? But how I've made mistakes and paid the price I've done the kind thing once or twice They call me perfect... but how? Perhaps one day I'll find the key That lifts me up and sets me free For now I'll keep breathing
