You've been wasting most of my time
Been waiting for a bite
Been chewing through my mind and I can't figure why
Why I've been looking for an excuse
And thinking I'm so obtuse
Still looking for the noose around my neck
Yeah yeah
And every time you say you'll stay
I lose a little faith it seems you've walked away
And every time you've shone on through
I regret all the bad things that I've said about you
I was walking on the sand
I thought I felt your hand
But the footprints only showed the tracks of one man
But you, you turned to me to say
My son you shouldn't be dismayed
Through the troubled times
I carried you part of the way
My way
And every time you say you'll stay
I lose a little faith it seems you've walked away
And every time you've shone on through
I regret all the bad things that I've said about you
About you
I hope I meet you on the way down
I check my noose don't bring me down
And every time you say you'll stay
I lose a little faith it seems you've walked away
And every time you've shone on through
I regret all the bad things that I've said about you
About you
