Think you know everything that I do a little better than me too.
Well sorry I’m not so zen.
I haven’t quite figured it all out yet.
But hey what’s it to you?
Always looking for a point to prove.
Maybe I’ll be fine and this will all work out.
I’ll find a way that I can silence all your doubts.
Because I.
I don’t want to be just another missed opportunity.
No, I want to do something real.
But you’ve got me on my knees.
I’m not praying no, I’m suffering for one more day that I’m not out there on that stage.
You wear me down with no reward or respite.
And I just wait for my break.
When am I going to get my break?
I fear the tide is turning all the wrong ways.
Washing my half-assed hopes away.
But fuck it.
What’s another day worth more than passing the time at bay?
Is it worth clinging on to this one-shot dream?
And when it’s all through.
What did it mean to you?
To toss and turn at all you didn’t do.
Did you even care like I know that I did?
That’s what worries me.
So now we’re here and I am chasing this for real.
So go pretend you don’t give a shit elsewhere.
Because I.
I don’t want to be just another missed opportunity.
No, I want to do something real.
Because I.
I don’t want to be just another missed opportunity.
No, I want do something real.
But you’ve got me on my knees.
I’m not praying no I’m suffering for one more day that I’m not out there on that stage.
You wear me down with no reward or respite.
And I just wait for my break.
When am I going to get my break?
