lyrics

I guess that's how it goes
I'll be in love forever
And deep down I know
That we'll never be together but
I'll keep holding on and hoping
That you would change your mind
If life were a VCR then I would push rewind
I feel like I'm a joke
I feel lost and defeated
You pumped me full of holes
I might sound like I've retreated
But I can't entertain the notion that
We can never be and I won't rest until I've got you next to me
A thousand times I've lied awake
In the silence
I stood dormant in the back of your line
And even though it isn't moving
I promise you I'll wait
Till time finally beats me in the race
I'm sorry for the past
You know I never meant to hurt you
All those things I did
Well I prolly don't deserve you
But I know if I could show you that I'm not that type of guy
Then finally you'll break
And see what's in my eyes
A thousand times I've lied awake
In the silence
I stood dormant in the back of your line
And even though it isn't moving
I'll promise you I'll wait
Till time finally beats me in the race
Well I drink and smoke away the thought that you don't love me
I smoke them back-to-back but there's no cure
Oh it seems I'm not addicted to
The nicotine and booze
I'm trying to cope with my addiction to you
I'll stand and wait
In this line
And I'll wait for you until the day I die
Cause you only have one life to live
The game's not fair and I don't care
I'll cheat the rules to win your heart I swear
