Standing In My Own Way (Dana Cooper)

There goes me
Giving in easily
Trying too hard to please
Soft in the middle

Faithlessly
Chickening out on me
Blaming the big machine
Cursing in riddles
Frightened and little
Standing in my own way

Here am I
Questioning where, how, why
Watching my life roll by
I don't want to blow it, no

Contrary me
Begging to disagree
Making mistakes in threes
Wrong and I know it
Too proud to show it
Standing in my own way
Standing in my own way

You naysayer
Oh you're doing what you do best again
Get out of my way you betrayer, no
Don't be so damn sure
You'll win

'Cos we are through
There's not enough room for two
I'm stepping right over you
Open that front door

'Cos here I come
Banging my broken drum
I've got you on the run
I'm winning this old war
There will be no more
Standing in my own way
Standing in my own way
