emotional problems.

Just a thought. You know, I've just realised that I'm so paradoxical. Well, ok, there's some of you out there that are going, "what? And you only just noticed??????". But I can see it myself now...



To you, I might seem to be adventurous, so be shameless, to not care what people think of me. Well, to some extent that's very true. But then, guess you have to think again, to step back and reaccess, as I have done.



I know that I accuse certain people of being unable to deal with emotional, human problems, of obsessing about things that they feel they can control instead. But then, hey, meet resident hypocrite yours truly... there's two sides to me, and the side I see in myself now... well... ... I see that I'm scared of dealing with emotional issues that involve myself, I'm afraid to take chances where this is concerned, I'm sacred of being hurt, of hurting. I can help others, why can't I help myself, why can't I take my own advice? I tell people that if they don't take chances, they'll never experience what life's really about. But I myself don't practice what I preach.



As I said before, I'm complicated. You really don't need to remind me.



I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking



It's just a thought, only a thought



But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine



I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me



It's just a thought, only a thought



But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine



While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive



If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine



- Life for Rent, Dido.
