Kinks - Surviving lyrics

Look at us here today<br>Lots of talking with nothing to say<br>And if I seem somewhat afraid<br>I'm surviving, that's all I am<br>I'm surviving to be a better man<br>I'm surviving, that's my plan<br>Just surviving<br><br>Yesterday, I was sure<br>But today I don't know anymore<br>Thought I was brave till I saw<br>My frightened reflection in a dark corridor<br>Now I'm surviving to be a better man<br>I'm surviving with an emotional plan<br>I'm surviving, so please understand<br>I'm surviving, surviving<br><br>There are millions of people out there<br>Trying to get by in a world that don't care<br>People smiling through clouds of despair<br>Protecting the wounds until they repair<br>They're surviving the best way they can<br>They are surviving every woman and man<br>Just surviving with an emotion plan<br>So keep surviving<br><br>Maybe it's my shattered pride<br>That's why I get scared of emotional ties<br>Don't let them in, otherwise<br>You'll smile like a fool<br>But you'll be hurting inside<br>So I'm surviving through the insecurity<br>I am surviving, I got hope inside of me<br>So I'm smiling through all the insanity<br>I'm surviving, surviving<br><br>I was moved by the way that you said<br>Don't be afraid, I won't leave you for dead<br>You took my soul and mixed up my head<br>You left me alive<br>You should have killed me instead<br>Now I'm surviving, that's all I am<br>I'm surviving to be a better man<br>I'm surviving, that's my plan<br>I'm surviving, surviving<br>Surviving
