Lyrics
Oh! To be a stone again
and not feel the slings of this life.
I give it all I can,
somehow it ends up a lie.
But I push it all aside...
to keep coming back.
I'm so good at everything
that nothing can make me alive.
But I'd give up anything
to know you still think I'm alright.
So I give up all I have...
But we're wasting time,
we're wasting life.
In fighting the pull of the tide.
We're wasting time,
we're wasting love...
To keep coming back.
But I... will keep coming back.
I'm going far away
to where there is nothing to hide.
Maybe I'll get strong and then,
I'll prove once again you were right.
I'm looking for a sign.
But we're wasting time...
I thought there was nothing,
just a stain on my mind.
And pain isn't anything,
just a stranger passing by...
in the blink of an eye.
We're wasting time...
