Reliance

(album: American Arrogance - 1997)

So you think the area's gray but it continues each day
A bad example of the attitude you portray
Act like I owe you my life you should be burdened with strife
Can't find a single reason I can live with you as my wife
So I continue to pray and hope that you'll go away
A bad addiction to a home-wrecking thing who plays

With my heart and that's the bottom line
I feel so empty now

[Chorus:]
What can you give me I can't give myself?
And what part of my life can you fix, that I can't fix my damn self?

God I'm losing patience each day I've put myself in harms way
Can't seem to justify none of the shit you say
Can't find another way out there's nothing left but pure doubt
I'm on the verge of pulling my hair straight out
So if you listen to me not to the powers that be
We're not supposed to be together can't you see?

In decision is the bottom line
I feel so empty now

[Chorus:]
Just what can you give me I can't give myself?
And what part of my life can you fix, that I can't fix my damn self?
Just what can you give me I can't give myself?
And what part of my life can you fix, that I can't fix my damn self?

(my damn self)

I'm gonna show you now this time I'm getting out
I've said it many times but this time I have figured out
Just how I'm moving on it's taken way too long
Inside I know I'll feel much better when you're really gone

[Chorus:]
What can you give me I can't give myself?
And what part of my life can you fix, that I can't fix my damn self?
Just what can you give me I can't give myself?
And what part of my life can you fix, that I can't fix my damn self?
