There was a time when I thought I controlled my life Sailing with the tide Now I'm trapped in the scenes of a nightmare And I'm reading impromptu lines Ooh ease my troubled mind I'm always trying to keep myself busy now Life marches on in haste People need you there to play your role With a smile upon your face Ooh ease my troubled mind No matter what I do it's like a tattoo, upon my heart I'm swimming in a sea of regret and wounded pride Hit by grief like a thief and it's shattered my soul And left me numb Just walk with me I need you by my side I take two steps forward and one step back There are memories everywhere Calling out unanswered questions And giving me silent stares Ooh ease my troubled mind No matter what I do it's like a tattoo, upon my heart I'm swimming in a sea of regret and wounded pride Hit by grief like a thief and it's shattered my soul And left me numb Just walk with me I need you by my side No matter what I do it's like a tattoo, upon my heart I'm swimming in a sea of regret and wounded pride Hit by grief like a thief and it's shattered my soul And left me numb Just walk with me I need you by my side No matter what I do it's like a tattoo, upon my heart I'm swimming in a sea of regret and wounded pride Hit by grief like a thief and it's shattered my soul And left me numb Just walk with me I need you by my side Just walk with me I need you by my side Just walk with me I need you by my side
