Hell in the Hallway

Maybe I'm just crazy, acting like a fool Making such a mess of everything that I do Always robbing Peter cause I'm too far in to Paul I hustle and I hustle with my back against the wall There's got to be a silver lining Some kind of better way They say that somethings better than nothing But there's a couple things that I can't figure out How come you can't keep a hound dog from running When he's got food and water right there at the house It's been heartbreaking, sad, and confusing I run myself ragged goin' round and around They say when one door closes, another one opens But it's hell in the hallway for now Something's got to give, I think it might be time to change And the way I got it figured out, I don't know a thing Half the time I'm lying, half the time I just can't tell Who's that standing in the mirror when I'm looking at myself But it don't matter what I think It's only what I do They say that somethings better than nothing But there's a couple things that I can't figure out How come you can't keep a hound dog from running When he's got food and water right there at the house It's been heartbreaking, sad, and confusing I run myself ragged goin' round and around They say when one door closes, another one opens But it's hell in the hallway. When all the kids are acting Like they wanna be your friend But they talk about you When you turn your back around to them They're telling secrets in the stairwells And rumors in the halls And the things they say about you Just ain't true at all They say that somethings better than nothing But there's a couple things that I can't figure out How come you can't keep a hound dog from running When he's got food and water right there at the house It's been heartbreaking, sad, and confusing I run myself ragged goin' round and around They say when one door closes, another one opens But it's hell in the hallway for now
