lyrics

Why, why wait?

The truth will out one day

Why, pretend?

you’ve gone and lost your way


I can tell when you’re lying

It’s every time your mouth moves

I don’t know what you are trying

But I’ve got too much to lose

And so have you


Why, why wait?

A Sorry is not that hard

Why deny?

This time you’ve gone too far


Can I trust my sensations
I keep asking is it me

Gas light illuminations

It’s all ended in defeat

You haven’t broken me



Why, why wait?

To show me your true face

Why, so late?

Now gone without a trace


Sleepless nights and bad dreams

you’ve poisoned the back of my mind

But we all see it now so clearly

These are the ties that bind

Why, why waste

A moment more on you?
Why, why waste

A moment more on you?
