I sat around for hours on end 

For an end so clearly predetermined 

I shall no longer play a part of your equation 

I missed your boat a thousand times, I swear 

You must have stayed off shore to avoid such relations 

Avoidance has been your trump 

But still I wait for you 

This is the best I can do 

To throw my energy into your apathy 

It's the best I can do 



I once had pride, I once had guts 

But I gave up all that shit for the big easy 

So now I rely on you to get me through this 

I once believe I had a name 

But my name was changed to the numbers on my resume 

So I hope that you're impressed 

I did it all for you 

It's the best that I could do 

A little song and dance 

Can have its consequences 

It's the best that I can do 

To sit around the phone 

The patience waits for you 

This is the best that I can do 

This is the best that I can do... 



I sweat it out for hours on end 

For an end so obviously predetermined
