When I woke up, I saw you, when I went to sleep, I thought of you But now I see my mistakes You said baby, where'd you go last night? I went home to think about my life you see You can take your knives and align them in my spine And I will stand straight up on my life On my life Stand straight up on my life On my life Stand straight up on my life On my life I used to believe in the things you would tell me But now I can clearly see My truth is my own and you now have outgrown me The bitter reality You can take your knives and align them in my spine And I will stand straight up on my life On my life Stand straight up on my life On my life Stand straight up on my life On my life It's about time I realize that time is only on my side Take control of my life You can take your knives and align them in my spine And I'll stand straight up on my life On my life Stand straight up on my life On my life Stand straight up on my life On my life Stand straight up on my life
