with my back against the wall 
 Long way to go 
 with so much room to fall 
 Twisting my words 
 holding them against me 
 Backed into a corner 
 no stories to defend me 
  
 Caught in a 
 Caught in a trap 
 Cut me some 
 Cut me some slack 
  
 I thought it was over 
 not the story at all 
 The word had spread 
 far, wide, and tall 
 My privacy's gone 
 should have known it would come 
 My life is your life 
 care to join the fun? 
  
 Could you cut me some slack
