Why don't you tell me

What do you need?

There is a blank page

For you Give me the bones of

What you believe

Maybe they'll save you

From me Will I be the strong hand

Keeping you safe

Or will I break you

In half And you will never

Be under my thumb

But you are not your

Own man See the way we all run

When we know it all off by heart

Playing down, waiting all out

Will we win or lose it this time? When the pressure's building for a great white hope

Do you give up things that you love?

And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole

Can you go back on your own word? All of your brothers

They never died

For what you kill for

Slowly How it will grind you

Into the ground

If you should try to

Hold me See the way we all run

When we know it all off by heart

Played down, waiting all out

When we win or lose it this time When the pressure's building for a great white hope

Do you give up things you love?

And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole

Can you go back on your own word? When the pressure's building for a great white hope

Do you give up things you love?

And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole

Can you go back on your own word?
