Lyrics
Here I go again, see me trying
To squeeze from the middle
So I’ll be alone again
All around me people are trying
To be what they once were
Just to be the same again
Eventually it seems to get hard to love
When your feet get cold and your head goes numb
And you find yourself on the edge of the kingdom come
And no one knows your name
When will things just get back to normal
I think to myself
And scoff as the thought runs through my mind
Where did I come up with this concept
And what did I once want
Before it was clear what I would find
Eventually it seems to get hard to love
When your feet get cold and your head goes numb
And you find yourself on the edge of the kingdom come
And no one knows your name
Til you get up
Walk over to the mirror
And you won’t recognize
Oh your face without your makeup
And it seems like its been years
Since there was light behind your eyes
Can you restart a heart
Can you restart a heart
Can you restart a heart
Eventually it seems to get hard to love
When your feet get cold and your head goes numb
And you find yourself on the edge of the kingdom come
When your shattered heart’s not strong enough
And you hate to show your face when it’s looking so rough
And no one knows your name
