I've tried to see the good

I gave it all I could

it didn't work my love

not how it should

compromising love

the sadness of your touch

the signs are all so clear

I've had enough



need a free mind

not a lover like you

independent but mine - ooh



[Chorus:]

holding out, waiting for - someone

conquering my heart

nothing's clear, when you're near

like a shadow in the dark



I'm dragging guilt behind

behaving so unkind

it's bringing out the bad

from deep inside



I'm sure not blaming you

nothing you could do

life can take a turn

and often burns
