CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
(lyrics : Vanessa Jacquemin)
(composer :Vanessa Jacquemin)


NEVER LIVED MY LIFE ON A MINIMUM WAGE
I REFUSED TO BELIEVE THAT I COULD ALWAYS PAY
SO I THREW MY TRUST OVERBOARD

CROSSED AN OCEAN TO RELEASE A LIFELINE FOR THE BRAVE
DIDN’T SEE THAT MY MIND WAS JUST SLIPPIN’ AWAY
I AM BOUND BY BORDERS THAT RUN ACROSS

NOW I’M CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS I CANNOT FACE
I MADE UP A STORY
FAIRY TALES ABOUT EACH ONE IN PLACE
IF I ONLY KNEW BETTER
BUT I’M NOT AFRAID TO SAY NOW
I MADE UP MY STORY TO THE LETTER

I’M A STRANGER IN THE CITY GOTTA FIND MY OWN WAY
JUST ACCUSED OF DREAMIN’ I COULD LEAVE A TRACE
AND I SWEAR THAT’S WHAT HURTS THE MOST

PARALYZED BY THE PRESSURE TO FIT INTO A PLACE
GOT TO CHOOSE THE SIDE THAT WILL FLATTER BOTH WAYS
NOT SO SURE THAT’S WHAT I WANTED AT ALL

NOW I’M CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS I CANNOT FACE
I MADE UP A STORY
FAIRY TALES ABOUT EACH ONE IN PLACE
IF I ONLY KNEW BETTER
BUT I’M NOT AFRAID TO SAY NOW
I MADE UP MY STORY TO THE LETTER

I’M GONNA SHOUT ABOUT IT
CLEAR THE SPACE TO FLY AWAY
MANY TRACKS TO COVER
REWIND A LIFE THAT RAN ASTRAY

LET ME SEE WHAT MATTERS
WON’T BE ASHAMED TO FIND A WAY
RATHER ROCK IT OVER
HELP ME FORGET ANOTHER DAY

I’M CAUGHT, I’M CAUGHT, I’M CAUGHT
‘CAUSE I MADE UP EVERYTHING

IT WAS SOMETHING ‘BOUT THE WAY THE PROMISE WAS MADE IN MY HEART
IT DIDNT’ MATTER EITHER WAY THE PRICE I PAID FOR LOVE

I’M CAUGHT, I’M CAUGHT, I’M CAUGHT
‘CAUSE I MADE UP EVERYTHING
I’M CAUGHT, SO LOST
‘CAUSE I MADE UP EVERYTHING
