You sit there praying for hope
But no one came
And sat like dust on a shelf
A thought sits in your brain
You carry on till you crack
Knowing you can't take it back
And there's a million tales and stories
You lose for a single glory
His head starts to spin
His body fills with self doubt
The room laughs at him
When he looks round
Although he wants her
She don't want him in that state
Although he needs time
Time just won't wait
Then he sees her
Standing there with someone else
It could have been him
If he weren't so wrapped up in himself
Although he wants her
She don't want him in that state
Although he needs time
Time just won't wait
Time just won't wait
Time just won't wait
Time just won't wait
Inside he still feels like a child
He's 10 years on still running wild
And the clock on the wall keeps ticking
Even when nothings clicking
He used to hold his head so high
Now he looks down as they pass him by
And he once had this great idea
Everything crystal clear
His head starts to spin
His body fills with self doubt
The room laughs at him
When he looks round
Although he wants her
She don't want him in that state
Although he needs time
Time just won't wait
Then he sees her
Standing there with someone else
It could have been him
If he weren't so wrapped up in himself
Although he wants her
She don't want him in that state
Although he needs time
Time just won't wait
Time just won't wait
Time just won't wait
Time just won't wait
They call him second rate
Well that ain't the case
And this one's for you now
This one's for you now
They call him second rate
Well they took the bait
And this one's for you now
This one's for you now
This one's for you...
