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.....
