Lyrics
Never too soon to be through
Being cool too much too soon
Too much for me, too much for you
You're gonna lose in time

Don't be afraid to show your friends
That you hurt inside, inside
Pain's part of life, don't hide behind your false pride
It's a lie, your lie

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty (ooh)
If you see me getting high
Knock me down (knock me down)
I'm not bigger than life

I'm tired of being untouchable
I'm not above the love
I'm part of you and you're part of me
Why did you go away?

Finding what you're looking for
Can end up being, being such a bore
I pray for you most every day
My love's with you
Now fly away

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty (ooh)
If you see me getting high
Knock me down (knock me down)
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty (ooh)
If you see me getting high
Knock me down (knock me down)
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty (see me)
If you see me getting high (getting mighty)
Knock me down (knock me down)
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty (see me)
If you see me getting high (getting mighty)
Knock me down (knock me down)
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

(C'mon, yeah yeah)
(C'mon, yeah yeah)

It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself (Oh, so lonely)
It's so lonely (yeah)
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself (oh)
It's so lonely (oh yeah)
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
It's so lonely
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
