factory man
thinks he's blessed but in fact he's damned
he's working hard
it's the fault of his apportioned hand
the cards just played out
in the favour of another man
he doesn't know
he will die right where he stands
cause they take all they can
and they want it all from this man
his broken heart
since the day of his wife's depart
has ailed him so
but he knows on he must go
for the little girl
waiting on daddy to come home
he must care
until the day that she is grown
but they take all they can
and they want it all from this man
you're gonna leave me
aren't you?
you're gonna leave me
aren't you?
and the time that we were there
equaled half of what was lost
and we tried to let it pass
we just couldn't make love last
you're gonna need me
aren't you?
just like I need you
oh, I do
and the time that we were there
equaled half of what was lost
and we tried to let it pass
we just couldn't make love last
let me down
let me down
(from the pedestal I'm up upon)
let me down
let me down
(cause you don't know what you are doing)
let me down
let me down
(this has gone too far)
let me down and I will love you
let me down, and I will love you
I saw the look that was in her eyes
and I knew I was running out of time
I may seem calm, but I must confess
while I might sleep you know, I won't rest
wait
wait for me
won't you wait
wait for me?
I waited up for the sun to rise
just had to see it come with my own eyes
been missing out on a lot of life
I don't know when but sure as hell know why
wait
wait for me
won't you wait
wait for me?
I don't want to know
that I am just a thing that you can hold
something slightly broken from the mold
don't put me back together
I don't want to change
if it means forgetting my own name
and I don't want to be myself
but I don't want your help becoming someone else
I just want to try
I want to break the road alone at night
all I need is time
to fix the broken pieces of my mind
I don't want to know
how you diagnose a self tortured soul
or why I feel the way I do
when I am unresolvably in a constant state of blue
I should just confess
all I need is a place to catch my breath
a chance to reevaluate myself
and who I want to be today
I just want to try
I want to break the road alone at night
all I need is time
to fix the broken pieces of my mind
I wanna fall into
a large body of water
I wanna swim until
I cannot see the shore
I wanna make famous
the surname of my father
for living on the ocean floor
and I will wave from underneath the waves
while I wait for what I had before
