Lyrics
It?s safe to say I?m wasting my time
Longing for some answers
Not some sorry alibis
Words come flying out
From both sides of your mouth
Your actions speak so loud and clear
They surround the truth
With clouds of doubt (chorus)
You give me no reason
To smile when it rains
You give me no reason
To keep the faith
You give me no reason
To light a candle when it?s dark
You give me no reason to believe
Your iridescent eyes
Can mesmerize a crowd.
But when you?re called to the task
You?re nowhere to be found.
I?m sure there?ll be another fool
To stand in my place.
Doesn?t the reflection of your face,
In your mirror reveal your disgrace. (chorus)
I?m not blind cause now I?ve seen the light
It leads me away from all that I despise
Na na na na na na
Na na na na
(solo)
It?s safe to say I?m wasting my time
Wasting my time, yeah
(chorus, outtro)
