Stand My Ground

A movie playing in my head that never ends

A needle skipping on a record called pretend

You sit on the couch in a smoky haze

Even farther away than you were yesterday

We’re getting really good at playing our roles

An academy award as the script unfolds

But this ain’t Hollywood or Disneyland

I guess we never found our promised land

Everything is turning upside down

It’s getting really hard to stand my ground

Everyone I know’s got advice for me

Can’t find a reason to disagree

How can something as simple as saying I’m leaving

Make me live a life that’s so damn deceiving

Everything is turning upside down

It’s getting really hard to stand my ground

I told you I was scared and you just laughed

A nervous laugh until the moment passed

I’m tired of searching for the perfect rhyme

I guess it’s just decision time

Every day I make up my mind

Gonna stop this feeling gonna stop this lyin’

But it’s easy to say and harder to do

When all you can tell me is how much I hurt you

Everything is turning upside down

It’s getting really hard to stand my ground

Everything is turning upside down

It’s getting really hard to stand my ground
