Lyrics
I don't know why I'd waste my time
Looking for something though I'm blind
If you weren't it for me
How am I supposed to see
Through the hazes and disguises
Boy, as sure as the sun rises
I'll play the fool if it gives me a hand to hold
And out of the cold
My world is small but I watch it grow
I'll shout from the mountains, the trenches, can you hear it echo
If I'm not meant to be
Above ordinary
Then what the hell was the applause for
Don't you say I need to want it more
Cause I'll play the role for as long as I am told
Wait
I wasn't ready for this
If I had one more wish
I'd learn to do it all again
Knowing all that I know now then
Stay
With every changing key
I can't hold on my melody
If they would just let me write my own song
Then maybe then I'd know
How to play along
When the sun goes down my mind will slip away
The battle is quiet, the riot begins when the music fades
If I do not believe
Myself to be worthy
Then why should I bother waking
Isn't my breath mine for the taking
I'll play this game if it keeps me from getting old
Wait
I wasn't ready for this
If I had one more wish
I'd learn to do it all again
Knowing all that I know now then
Stay
With every changing key
I can't hold on my melody
If they would just let me write my own song
Then maybe then I'd
Break
My heart with what you say
I won't give in or give it away
I found the spirit in my soul when I learned how to be brave
Take
Everything I did
Love was the one thing I could never win
I was set free when it dawned me that it had always been
It's been here all along
Waiting with its sweet song
For me to play
Along
