The Line

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 may 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've stood dormant in the back of your line
And even though it isn't moving
I promise you I'll wait
Until time finally beats me in the race

I'm sorry for the past
I never meant to hurt you
All those things I did
Well I probably don't deserve you
But I know if I can 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've stood dormant in the back of your line
And even though it isn't moving
I promise you I'll wait
Until time finally beats me in the race

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 life
The games not fair and I don't care
I'll cheat the rules to win your heart I swear
