i've watched the changing scene, and i've no way to get home
  you cannot pretend that our love is gone for good
  don't take me for granted even though you think you should
  can i once more be my true self
  if headed for the gate
  would you still be waiting for me
  i hope you can stay
  time has made me strange and i'm talking to myself
  persistence cannot change what i see in someone else
  smoke gets in your eyes when you burn the bridges past
  razor blades of thought make the cuts of anger last
  look me in the eyes and tell me
  if there is another way
  your life is ruined just because you
  didn't wanna stay
  goin' nowhere.
