i can't say one more time
i see your face and i am fine
and every time i see you i fight for words
and though i try to reach you and i can't feel

i can't stand here waiting thinking about your smile
all the lights are fading on the carnival ride
and i can't stand the colors that remind me of the past
how could i be so stupid to think this would last
and i can't stand here waiting

and i look out to the broken glass sky
lights turned down, they fade into night
and every time i see you i fight for words
and though i try to reach you and i can't feel

i can't stand here waiting thinking about your smile
all the lights are fading on the carnival ride
and i can't stand the colors that remind me of the past
how could i be so stupid to think this would last
and i can't stand here waiting
and i can't stand here waiting
(x2)

and i can't stand here waiting
and i can't stand here waiting
