Where were the stars when I needed them? No doubt behind some vicious cloud And where were your words when I would have heeded them? No doubt wasted on somebody else And all this time I could've been in your arms Instead of out there on those mean avenues And all this time I could've been doing something meaningful Instead of wasting my time on you How do you fight something that can't see? And how do you kill what's already dead? And come to terms with what you might never be But have been for years, if only in your head And all this time I could've been seeing the world Instead of out there on those mean avenues And all this time I could've been working on my dreams Instead of wasting my time on you Instead of wasting my time on you
