​stand still

[Intro]
Please somebody help me
I’m stuck in a trance
How will I survive
If no one gives me a chance?
Hello can you hear me?
This is not a drill
I’m in need of healing
But I cannot stand–

[Cassette Tape Being Switched Out]

[Verse 1]
I feel like I’m on standstill
My life is now on pause
But time just keeps on moving
It’s not wasted on my thoughts

[Verse 2]
If I keep on wishing
I’ll drive myself insane
I won’t get a happy ending
If I give into the plan

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not ready to end it all
I feel as if I’ve just begun
I’m not a woman of principles
But this can’t be a hit and run

[Chorus]
I gotta stand still
I gotta stand still

[Verse 3]
Hello can you hear me?
This is not a drill
I’m in need of healing
But I cannot stand still

[Verse 4]
If I keep on hoping
I’ll bore myself to death
But the things I thought were broken
Have become the only mess

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that I’m not invincible
I ruin everything that I touch
But this is a matter of principles
I can’t take one look and run

[Chorus]
I gotta stand still
(Stand still. I gotta stand still)
I gotta stand still
(You know I gotta stand still)
I gotta stand still
(Yeah you know I gotta stand still)
I gotta stand still

[Outro]
Stand still
I gotta stand still
I gotta stand still
Can’t move 'cause
I gotta stand still
