lyrics

I was shadow boxing and my shadow punched back
Can you imagine my surprise?
Then I got to thinking if there's something I don't know
Something inside of me that I'm trying to hide

Fighting with myself
I may never win
But I'll never stop
When did I begin?
Till I can rest peacefully

I look in the mirror and I wasn't there
And I wondered where I could be now
So I sat in a chair and tried to relax
But I don't really know how

Fighting with myself
I may never win
But I'll never stop
When did I begin?
Till I can rest peacefully

Sometimes I feel like I could get along
But it always ends in tears
Sometimes I feel like I could be happy
But I always find something to fear
