lyrics

Verse 1
I'm tired of waiting around
So tired every day, acting the clown
Tired of being saved for a rainy day
But you're obviously, still up to play
Yes, I know I've got a big ego
That is something that we both know
Don't worry about
Bruising me
I don't bruise that easily

Chorus
So, let me tell you all about
The games you play
how they get older every single day
Being put on a shelf to wait
For someone else, while you try hard
To control yourself
Let me tell you all about the promises you make
How they are bruised and battered and fake
Waiting for forever
Or Forever it would seem, just to steal
A part of someone elses dream

Verse 2
Everything in this fight has
Already been brought
I tell you I wanna leave, don't act
So distraught
Just an on going game always playing
God
Things are getting a little bit foggy
Things are getting a little too crazy
Can't handle this on my own
But it would be helpful to be left alone

Chorus
So, let me tell you all about
The games you play
how they get older every single day
Being put on a shelf to wait
For someone else, while you try hard
To control yourself
Let me tell you all about the promises you make
How they are bruised and battered and fake
Waiting for forever
Or Forever it would seem, just to steal
A part of someone elses dream

Bridge
I, can't wait forever
Even though it hurts you can't
Make it better
I, can't wait forever
Even though it hurts you can't make it better
I, can't wait forever

Chorus
So, let me tell you all about
The games you play
how they get older every single day
Being put on a shelf to wait
For someone else, while you try hard
To control yourself
Let me tell you all about the promises you make
How they are bruised and battered and fake
Waiting for forever
Or Forever it would seem, just to steal
A part of someone elses dream

I can't forever, even though it hurts
You can't make it better
I can't wait forever, even though it hurts
You can't make it better
