Lyrics

Man In The Middle

I let go of myself so I feel bad

All I do is wait so I feel sad

My mind slips away and I'm wondering how

It all came to this, can I go now

I'm the man in the middle

D'you know how that feels

The one in the middle you know

And I don't really love you

I've been here before

I've been in the middle you see

I don't have to go, so I stay home

Wondering why I'm feeling so bad

Don't you think that you, you could be strong

'Cos I'm not something to share

And I'm on my own

(Oh yes I am)

I'm the man in the middle

D'you know how that feels

The one in the middle you know

And I don't really love you

I've been here before

I've been in the middle you see
