I try hard to change the look on my face,
that tells you that I've just had enough,
and I don't want to stay.
But apparently, that's all fine with you.
I'm a mess but I keep my curtains closed,
'til a breeze comes along through my bedroom window.
Knocking the pane to remind me
that outside is what I've been afraid of all along.
The second hand has been ticking,
as slow as the hours have been passing by.
Alone in my room over-thinking
something I've never thought.
It's a waste of time, and I know it.
It won't change a thing,
but to slow it down for you,
Have I wasted my time?
To argue would confuse me.
I don't want a justified reply.
Would rather this empty space of mine.
My gut is telling me to stop,
but I can't control my mind.
Yeah, it's eating me alive.
The second hand has been ticking,
as slow as the hours have been passing by.
Alone in my room over-thinking
something I've never thought.
It's a waste of time, and I know it.
It won't change a thing,
but to slow it down for you,
Have I wasted my time?
I can't see what the point is now,
unless this whole thing turns around.
The second hand has been ticking,
as slow as the hours have been passing by.
Alone in my room over-thinking
something I've never thought.
It's a waste of time, and I know it.
It won't change a thing,
but to slow it down for you,
Have I wasted my time?
