the road ahead...looks rough
but man, i gotta take it
the path i tread...leads nowhere fast
but i can't seem to shake it
every place i've gone
has put me face down in the mud
and i'm so lost
i'm begging, oh, please someone come...

so pick me up and carry me
cuz i don't wanna do this anymore
pick me up from off my knees
help me see i can be worth much more
don't let me fall; help me stand
cuz i don't think i've got the strength i need
to be.. everything you apparently see in me...

the life i lead...isn't the one
that you had planned, i guess
and i can see...i've come undone
but i've made my own mess
and every place i've run
just puts me face-down in the mud
and i'm so lost.
i'm begging now, oh, please someone come

so pick me up and carry me
cuz i don't wanna do this anymore
pick me up from off my knees
help me see i can be worth much more
don't let me fall; help me stand
cuz i don't think i've got the strength i need
to be.. everything you apparently see in me...

pick me up and carry me
far away from complacancy
what you've seen in me
is exactly the thing
that i want to be....
i want to be... more
cuz i don't wanna do this anymore

so pick me up and carry me
cuz i don't wanna do this anymore
pick me up from off my knees
help me see i can be worth much more
don't let me fall; help me stand
cuz i don't think i've got the strength i need
to be.. everything you apparently see in me...
