All I Can Tell You

All I can tell you is
I was asleep in a vacuum
I believed there was nobility
In being able to take a punch
I thought it would all get better
That with practice, I could be in control
               
All I can tell you is
I was out of my mind with fear
I believed there was no other chance
                To be able to feed my kids
I thought it would all get better
That with practice, I could be in control

All I can tell you is
I was alone in a fight against all odds
I believed there was no other way to live
On the razor thin edge of sanity
I thought it would all get better
That with practice, I could be in control


All I can tell you is
I was a defender of hearts
I believed there was a way
                That my sacrifice would protect you
I thought it would all get better
That with practice, I could be in control

All I can tell you is
I was not able to get control
I believed that reason was out of reach
                That I deserved to die
I thought it would all get better
That with practice, I could be in control

All I can tell you is
You are not alone. And even though
You believe there is no other way
                You don’t have to live this way
Because it won’t get better
That even with practice, you can’t be in control of anyone else but YOU
