time has made me green and i'm standing here alone

i've watched the changing scene, and i've no way to get home

you cannot pretend that our love is gone for good

don't take me for granted even though you think you should

can i once more be my true self

if headed for the gate

would you still be waiting for me

i hope you can stay

time has made me strange and i'm talking to myself

persistence cannot change what i see in someone else

smoke gets in your eyes when you burn the bridges past

razor blades of thought make the cuts of anger last

look me in the eyes and tell me

if there is another way

your life is ruined just because you

didn't wanna stay

goin' nowhere.
