Lately, I've strayed from the way I had charted Estranged from my allies, I've wandered alone I've been buildin' walls, instead of hangin' window' Hunkered down and hidden, I've been livin' in limbo Lately, I've spent too much energy fightin' For love, I've been offered, I find hard to receive I've been bein' tough, instead of bein' tender Takin' way too much, when I should have render I've been pushin' back, when I should be givin' in Brittle and hard, I can't bend with the wind I've been makin' do, when I could've had splendour If I could accept the benefits of surrender ♪ Lately, I've thought I am not where I should be When I could be livin' the here and the now I've been in my head, instead of bein' open On the edge of givin' up, but I am still hopin' I've been holdin' fast, when I should be seedin' ground Knowin' that what goes out, may yet come around I've been makin' do, when I could've had splendour If I could accept the benefits of surrender
