I'll Be Waiting

 

     Once I had a friend that I could count on
     So I thought
     Well so it seemed
     But times of need are not enough
     To prove your friendship to me now
     Once I saw a face that I believed in
     But a mask was all there was
     So who wears the masks and who wears the faces
     Well I guess I'll never know

     But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
     With nothing to say
     Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air
     Call them feiends but they just don't care

     Friend for life
     Such shallow words for broken minds
     Show me a friend for life
     Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
     When I'll feel alive
     I'll be waiting for that day

     Once I found a love I had to know
     Now we might know each other just too well
     Cause when we're together we just can't get enough
     Or is it we just can't get what we want
     Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
     Dreams quickly turn to reality
     Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine
     Well I guess I'll never know

     But as I sit here alone
     Think of the girl who came softly inside me
     The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
     Call her my own but is she really there?

     Love for life
     Such noble words for noble minds
     Show me a love for life
     Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
     When I'll feel alive
     I'll be waiting for that day

     Once I had a friend that I could count
     Times of need are not enough
     Once I found a love I had to know
     Now we might know each other just too well
     Once I saw a dream I had to chase
     Dreams quickly turn to reality
     Now let me close my eyes
     Because I don't want to see anything anymore
