"stepping outside" lyrics

Feeling sorry for myself as I empathise
I never get the balance right
Don't want you to think that I'm evil
If I need to leave right now
Protecting my sanity
Or what little that's been left for me
Always been told there are options
But none I can see

You give me advice, like you know what I need
Stepping outside won't give life a new lease
'Go be alone', well I don't know what that means
You try recognise, but can't understand
The weight of the risk that's been placed on my hands
I'm sorry that I'm just too sad for your plans

I'll just call it a state of mind
Maybe that will set it all right
Everyone's got their own problems
So why listen to mine
I won't try to remedy
I'll just stare at it till it leaves
Avoid every room that it sits in
Till I've nowhere to be

You give me advice, like you know what I need
Stepping outside won't give life a new lease
'Go be alone', well I don't know what that means
You try recognise, but can't understand
The weight of the risk that's been placed on my hands
I'm sorry that I'm just too sad for your plans

Don't hesitate, push them away
I know they'll think you left in vain
You'll never know what you withhold
The gap that opened soon will close
Don't hesitate, push them away
I need you, so
Can you come home?
Can you come home

You give me advice, like you know what I need
Stepping outside won't give life a new lease
'Go be alone', well I don't know what that means
You try recognise, but can't understand
The weight of the risk that's been placed on my hands
I'm sorry that I'm just too sad for your plans
