Lyrics

Well I went in with my eyes open
So I guess that I've no reason to complain
Still I never gave up hoping
Maybe further down the line that it would change

I should have bet against tomorrow
I wish for once that I could quit while I'm ahead
Though the victories were hollow
They're still preferable to what I have instead
It's driving me crazy
And I can't separate the truth from lies
The others just grazed me
But this hit straight between the eyes

When I'm lost within myself
When I'm crying out for help
When my life's a carousel
I'll reach for you
When my dreams have turned to dust
When my confidence is crushed
When there's no one left to trust
I'll reach for you
You're my only salvation

I've seen far too many sportsmen
Who keep going when they're way beyond their prime
And no matter how you coach them
They could never hope to beat the hands of time
It's never been easy
But it's harder to admit that I was wrong
So try to believe me
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger

When I'm lost within myself
When I'm crying out for help
When my life's a carousel
I'll reach for you
When my dreams have turned to dust
When my confidence is crushed
When this world becomes too much
I'll reach for you
You're my only salvation

Well I went in with my eyes open
