Don't you know it's my way out To be on my own When I feel like crying out I do it best alone Can you give me love and Protection to shield my heart All the fear I feel from doubt Is tearing me apart [Chorus] I want to love, I want to give I want to find another way to live Another shout, another cry And the walls come tumbling down Don't you know there's now way out Your pain's your own And the more we scream and shout The more we feel alone I can feel my anger rising Am I to blame? And I'm not gonna keep it inside me Do you feel the same? [Chorus] And I'm calling you
