If it were just another day

You know I might have stayed

But I couldn't hang around

To be beaten to the ground



Chorus:

You asked me for something

You know I couldn't lend

You tried to make me break

But it hurt too much to bend

And the more I see of what used to be our love, I find

That we've just been going nowhere

And we're never gonna get there

And we're wastin' our time



If I were just another guy

You know I might have tried

To fit into you schemes

And to have a plastic dream



Chorus



It was just another lie

I couldn't swallow when I tried

Just enough to realize

I'd been pretendin' all the time



Chorus



You asked me for something

You know I couldn't lend

You tried to make me break

But it hurt too much to bend

And the more I see of what used to be our love, I find

That we've just been going nowhere

And we're never gonna get there

And we're wastin' our time



And the more I see of what used to be our love, I find

That we've just been going nowhere

And we're never gonna get there

And we're wastin' our time

(Repeat 2 x's)
