When the time came to hit the mark
I was waiting alone in the dark
When the time came to betray
I resisted it, turned and walked away

And still I felt I'd failed
My sadness thinly veiled

I cannot understand why it went where it did
Had the world in my hands
Gave all I could give
I cannot find the words
To explain what went wrong
It was here, now it's gone

When the day came to drive away
I told myself I'd find a way
To keep my hand in, in the game
Now three years later I'm still hanging on to the chain

And still I feel I've failed
My anger thinly veiled

I live on the edge of nowhere
Impossible to get a grip on happiness
Just leave me alone
