my smile is just a little wry
i can take it with a grain of salt
instead of getting sleep i try
to make up for my lost and precious time
 
i could play a role
but i lost the cool to keep control
never mind the deal
it was well discussed but not agreed
 
it's a status quo again
a draw in every game we play
i guess that sums it up
we never lost
we never won
 
not a chance we'll ever change
or that we’ll find the one to blame
no one's right or wrong
we never lost
we never won
 
i used to be alright
but now i can feel the pressure rise
here is another new ordeal
it’s me again against my self-esteem
 
thank you for the signs
they could've served me well but i was blind
thank you for your time
it was good to have you by my side
 
my smile is just a little wry
i can take it with a grain of salt
instead of getting sleep i try
to make up for my lost and precious time
 
thank you for the signs
i bet you knew they were out of sight
thank you for your time
i wish i’d known i was wasting mine
