Lyrics
Verse 1:
How much laughter can you fake?
Should I walk or hesitate?
With all I feel for you, there's nothing I can do
But sit and wait. I pray it's a mistake.
How much is this really worth?
Will he ever come to terms?
With all I feel for you, there's nothing I can do
But sit and wait. I pray it's not too late.
Chorus:
What if he's real enough this time?
What if he keeps it up, and does everything to bring you peace of mind?
What will he do this time?
Verse 2:
How I long to be immersed...
As I struggle though this verse.
With all I feel for you, there's nothing I can do
But sit and wait. I pray it's not too late.
Chorus:
What if he's real enough this time?
What if he keeps it up, gives you everything to keep this hope alive?
Would you compromise?
Doesn't it seem the perfect crime?
Why can't you see that I'd suffer anything
to treat your love as mine, and know you're satisfied.
Verse 3:
I can't turn and walk away.
There's not much more to this debate.
With all I feel for you, there's nothing I can do
But sit and wait. I pray it's a mistake.
I pray it's a mistake, I pray it's a mistake.
