It saddens me to see it go 'cus I've been waiting such a long time

And I already miss it so because it's only been a short while

It's walked away it's disappeared but I've been waiting such a long time

It's gone away for good I fear and it's only been a short while

And I've been waiting such a long time

And I've been waiting such a long time

Such a very long time (time)

My only chance in many years and I'm about to lose it now

I'm unaccustomed to the tears that want to flow out

I feel like I'm an amateur playing in the major leagues

I always feel so insecure and all I want to do is scream

And I've been waiting such a long time

And I've been waiting such a long time

Such a very long time (time)

My face is white and my shoes are black and all the rest of me is gray

And I can't get my colors back because it's thrown them all away

I want it to come back right now because it's only been a short while

I lie awake and wonder how I could have waited such a long time

And I've been waiting such a long time

And I've been waiting such a long time

Such a very long time (time)

Such a very long time (time)

There’s something happening to me that we should be talking about

I can’t eat or sleep you don’t think anything’s wrong

If I want to talk to you looks like I’ll have to take a number

At the rate it’s going you’ll never hear me sing this song

Why should I feel this way

Why should I feel this way

What we have happening here are two sets of expectations

What’s so casual to you means a lot to me

I simply don’t understand the situation

Is this the way that I always heard it should be

Why should I feel this way

Why should I feel this way

There’s something happening to me that we should be talking about

I can’t eat or sleep you don’t think anything’s wrong

If I want to talk to you looks like I’ll have to take a number

At the rate it’s going you’ll never hear me sing this song

Why should I feel this way

Why should I feel this way

All I want is everything

Any less is the same old thing

So many know you well

And it never seems to stop

Don’t I know it well

How you never want to stop

I can understand

I can run away

I can blow it off

To another day

If I had it all to give

I would give it all to you

If I had the world to give

You would have the world in your backyard

Competing living legends

They wake up and they strangle us

I hate the competition

From breathing living legends

Get that man out of my face

You make it seem like some kind of race

All I want is time with you

All you want is time with him

Why do you spend my time with you

Trying to spend your time with him

I can understand

I can run away

I can blow it off

Or let it fade away

If it wasn’t there

You could be some kind of friend

Why is it always there

To be a friend is not that hard

Chorus

I'm not gonna tell ya cause you'll just say to me that these things happen when you don't take care of yourself

I wanna know why it has to be that I can feel this nagging pain all the time

I wanted to be invincible I wanted to be made of steel all I had to do was take a box from the shelf

All I know is I’d like to feel the way I did when innocence was once mine

Oh what have I done to me now

Oh what have I done to me now

I’m not gonna ask you cause there’s do much to do when money is your only goal you live and die by the knife

Soaring building fall down on you happy people never use the old roads

Better put the blinders on cause I don’t wanna see the way all of these little things take away from my life

Competition grinds on me the business world is dominated by toads

Oh what have I done to me now

Oh what have I done to me now

I won’t even tell ya cause there’s too much to say when I say nothing but should have spoken for hours

You always go back to the start people with fragile hearts shouldn’t be building glass towers

Morals come crashing down when passion gets in the way I think we both know what he wanted to take

I always seem to back my heart into a corner where I know it will break

Oh what have I done to me now

Oh what have I done to me now

The devil works inside the man

The man who hides behind the make-up

How many say I shook the hand

Of the man behind the make-up

There’s a tornado in my mind (My mind contracts in the scope of a year)

Where the echo never stops (Stop all the love and the hope and the planning)

If you turn and walk away (Away from the sadness and lies and the fears)

What will happen to me now (Now that it’s said and been done all over again)

How did wrong become a right

For the man behind the make-up

What’s so blinding is the sight

Of the man behind the make-up

There’s a tornado in my mind (Mind if you do if you don’t I don’t care)

Where the echo never stops (Stop all the doubts and give in to emotion)

If you turn and walk away (Away from the thoughts that are too much to bear)

What will happen to me now (Now that it all is uncertain again)

A nation bows before the name

Of the man behind the make-up

Singing songs won’t hide my shame

Of the man behind the make-up

There’s a tornado in my mind (Mind that the panic has lead to a meltdown)

Where the echo never stops (Stop the lies and tell us the truth)

If you turn and walk away (Away from the people enough this is wrong)

What will happen to me now (Now that our whole worlds are falling apart)

Words S. Macdonald

Are you ready to die

For a moment of passion

Can you take a lifetime of regret

Are you ready to die

For a moment of passion

Can you take a lifetime of regret

Are you ready to pay

For a moment of passion

Do you wanna have any doubt

Are you ready to say

To your moment of passion

Sorry but it hasn’t worked out


S. Macdonald

There’s a word above and the word is love it won’t change it won’t change

And the sky is blue and so are you it won’t change it won’t change

And he treats you bad like he always had it won’t change it won’t change

And he treats you wrong like he has all along it won’t change it won’t change


S. Macdonald

Gleaming steel reflects a coldness

Pasted smile faking flair

“I’ll never smile again” the song goes

Plate is empty nothing there

[chorus]

Why try when there’s no understanding

Why try when there is nothing left

Why try when there’s no understanding

Understand there’s so much to be felt

Decisions past future decided

The one that counted forgot how to add

Multiplying means division

Slide the rules I’ll be glad

[chorus]

I’ll get this last one in and then stop writing about it

I’ll get this last one in and then stop thinking about it

I’ll get this last one in and then stop

[chorus]

Understanding

Understanding

Understanding

Understanding
