lyrics

I've been to all the right places, and I've seen all the pretty faces
I learned to say the things they wanted to hear, but now it's hollow and wasted.
Seems like a never ending routine. A movie looping on the same scene.
Whatever happened to the sweet life, cause bitter is all that I've tasted.

I've been watching, waiting, too long.
I've been holding my tongue too long
I've been moving slowly too long
Now I realize life's not too long.

I won't sit down but I don't sand up. I just stare at my half filled cup.
Now I know what they meant by "I'm just making a living."
Part of me feels like I output poorly, so I...
Get back what I'm giving.

I've been watching, waiting, too long.
I've been holding my tongue too long
I've been moving slowly too long
Now I realize life's not too long.

Now I'm looking through my new eyes, and even though it's not all blue skies
I'm standing strong in the face of my fear, but I still don't feel like a hero.
It may be a long shot but there's still hope. When adversity rises you just have to cope.
On the horizon is a silhouette. Wave good-bye Mr Zero.

I've been watching, waiting, too long.
I've been holding my tongue too long
I've been moving slowly too long
Now I realize life's not too long.
