I ran, I got away, 'cos I knew that if I stayed I'd never win.
I walked across a bridge, but I couldn't even think of jumping in.
You couldn't love me, if you wanted to.
And I know I'd never jump, even if I wanted to.
Just what the hell is wrong with me?
If I could only speak, that you might see.

So I drink, sometimes too much, and tell myself that I just don't care.
But deep down inside behind the laughter, there's a pain that's hard to bear.
We couldn't be happy if we wanted to.
I could never end it all even if I wanted to.
Just what the hell is wrong with me?
If I could only speak that you might see, I'm only human.

Now I'm standing on the bridge and still those words I just can't say,
Entombed in icy silence, I wait there in the rain.
As dreams slip away in the harsh light of day, in my heart the sadness still remains.

I couldn't jump, I couldn't jump, I couldn't jump, I just couldn't bring myself to jump.
