  |  Rise to the occasion  |
  *------------------------*

                        
You’ve been down the dark detours
                        
You have seen most of it all
                       
Crashed into the million faces
                          
But never listened to them talk
                         
You’ve got so much on your mind right now
                                          
It doesn’t even help to try to solve them all


                                 
You used to smile with hope and a pat on the back
                         
would last throughout the day
                       
As the rain kept falling down on you
                                      
You wouldn't let them wash the feeling away
                                                       
Hope itself dried out in you as you heard your man walking away
               
Without a word

            
      
You thought
                                                      
Who’s gonna make my decisions, I can’t make them on my own
                                                     
Who’s gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
                                                        
Who the hell is gonna believe me, when I dont believe in myself
                                                       
Who’s gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him


                               
In case you didn’t know I really care for you
                        
I just wish you all the best
                       
If love should come and knock on your door
                          
I hope it treats you with respect
                   
I can not count the times I’ve seen you
                                      
Oh just slipping away with a broken heart


      
You thought
                                                      
Who’s gonna make my decisions, I can’t make them on my own
                                                     
Who’s gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
                                                        
Who the hell is gonna believe me, when I dont believe in myself
                                                      
Who’s gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him


     
Oh no
                                         
Everybody is going away, I’m barely hanging on
        
No no no
                                      
Do not lovers seeking me, what am I doing wrong?


                                                        
   Who’s gonna make my decisions, I can’t make them on my own
                                                     
Who’s gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
                                                        
Who the hell is gonna believe me, when I dont believe in myself
                                                   
Who’s gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him
                                                      
Who’s gonna make my decisions, I can’t make them on my own
                                                     
Who’s gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
                                                        
Who the hell is gonna believe me, when I dont believe in myself
                                                       
Who’s gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him
