There's a time when we try To begin what is ending If at first you don't succeed Then we just end up pretending If the dream isn't real Is the lie worth defending? Close your eyes, cover your ears Shut your mouth
Pre-Chorus
You can act naive But I know you're not stupid
Chorus
You'll wake up when I walk out Isn't that the way it plays? The leaver leaves, the stayer stays You wouldn't make a move, so I made mine Isn't it a pity? I wish you were really in it for life I wish that you were in it for life
Verse 2
What you give is what you get And what you got's now next to nothing 'Cause the life that you've accepted Is the one that's least disruptive Are you aware of the fact That when I pull, there's no pulling back You have half the mind, half the heart Half the will
Bridge
Some people talk like they can't hear Some people walk but get nowhere And when I'm done with the run I'm going on I'm sure I'll be Your biggest regret You'll never forget
