Stuck In The Middle

Ne-Yo · Other Songs - Ne-Yo

Verse 1:

I'm not an idiot, though I may get some things wrong.

I'm not stupid, I'm figuring it out as I go along.

Sometimes my mind and heart disagree.

And I don't always know who to follow, so where does that leave me?



Chorus:

I'm stuck in the middle

Of this small space with just enough room for mistake.

I never said I knew what I was doing.

I'm stuck in the middle

Of wrong and right with no one to be my guiding light.

I never said I knew what I was doing.



Verse 2:

Crucifixion. Is that the way to go?

Is that the road I should be on?

Or is it forgiveness?

I'm damned if I do damned if I don't.

My mind says let go, my heart says hold on.

What the hell do you do when both feel right but both feel wrong?



Chorus:

I'm stuck in the middle

Of this small space with just enough room for mistake.

I never said I knew what I was doing.

I'm stuck in the middle

Of wrong and right with no one to be my guiding light.

I never said I knew what I was doing.



Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo...



Bridge:

Everybody knows what I should have done,

Everyone's got all the answers,

But the one I need to be alright with,

Who I see in the mirror.



(Woahhhh) Ooo, Ooo, Ooo (Woahhhh) Ooo, Ooo, Ooo (Woahhhh)



Hey!



Chorus: (x2)

I'm stuck in the middle

Of this small space with just enough room for mistake.

I never said I knew what I was doing.

I'm stuck in the middle

Of wrong and right with no one to be my guiding light.

I never said I knew what I was doing.
