Waiting with my lonely heart
People come by like some fast cars
It all seemed so perfectly fine
Happy faces in those lovely pictures
Smiling like they've got something to hide
It all went by so fast

Making me happy wasn't good enough
Breaking me down was at least a start
Looking for another way to follow
But the only one left was straight ahead
That was the story 'bout you and me
where we got stuck in a one way street

Searching for yourself and searching for the person who you'd like to be
Treating me like I was a little kid
So unfair those rules you made
Making them up while I wasn't awake
this is not how it's supposed to be

Making me happy wasn't good enough
Breaking me down was at least a start
Looking for another way to follow
But the only one left was straight ahead
That was the story 'bout you and me
where we got stuck in a one way street

And I didn't want it to be over baby
And I didn't wanna lose you this way
And you, you made me run away baby
Cause you couldn't stand your fears

Making me happy wasn't good enough
Breaking me down was at least a start
Looking for another way to follow
But the only one left was straight ahead

Making me happy wasn't good enough
Breaking me down was at least a start
Looking for another way to follow
But the only one left was straight ahead
That was the story 'bout you and me
where we got stuck in a one way street
