Don’t Wait Up

Sorry really never seemed to cut it

And being sorry only brings me down

So sorry won’t do me no good

I wouldn’t change things if I could

And sometimes what’s lost

Doesn’t really need to be found

So here’s some memories to throw away

Just bury them deep from the light of day

They’re weighing heavy on my back anyway

So don’t you wait up for me

I’m not the man you thought I would be

I’m just a cloud in your cold blue sky

Simply passing by

And surely as the day will rise

It should come as no surprise

We got to let it be

We got to set it free

So don’t you wait up for me

I know in time I may live to regret it

But such is the life of a rolling stone

And like a stone that gets thrown in the sea

I’ll come to rest on the bottom eventually

Once free but probably all alone

I guess I’m just a restless soul with unobtainable goals

Try to find my way again

I guess I’m just a gambling man with a losing hand

Try to make a final stand

So don’t you ever hang your hopes on me

That aint something I can guarantee

If there is one thing I know for sure

I’ll be looking for the next open door
