Intro verse 1 I've been running out of My 70 excuses There comes a point when patience Can't take all these abuses Now my reserves are empty I'm feeling kind of low Because when do you fight for someone And when do you let 'em go The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine I've been waiting for you to come to your senses Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself Even you the mercenary could use a little help You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride You never run, but you sure know how to hide Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oooh verse 2 My friend said he had seen you At a movie theatre You looked just as you had always Didn't ask about me either I won't say life ends without you But you're the only answer You got me like a thief You got me with my hands up The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine I've been waiting for you to come to your senses Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself Even you the mercenary could use a little help You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride You never run, but you sure know how to hide Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oooh Bridge Yeah, say something now Yeah, be safe now Your wish is falling before you (There's a faith, there's a faith in my heart) The stars are frustrating (going days won't stop, when I feel that I'm still) You'll always win the waiting (in the beat of your soul, when you talk, when you write) When you weave and you flow And you leave and you stay Only waiting is left Now I'm kneeling around in the cold I've been waiting for you to come to your senses Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself Even you the mercenary could use a little help You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride You never run, but you sure know how to hide Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oooh
