That ain't no way 2 treat me, cuz I deserve better
I guess it really don't matter much now
Lately I feel the danger, I'm losin' the connection
I'm findin everyday, here 2day, gone away
U keep me guessin', with your pretendin'
I don't know left from right, right from wrong, no
I'm 'bout 2 give it up, kick u 2 the curb now...
How long - do I sit & wait 4 u 2 fin'lly come around?
How long - b4 I say it's time 2 go?
How long - do I stop & stare while u take it 4 granted?
How long - I gotta feel, I gotta know?
Ain't no 2 ways about it, you're caught up in delusion
You're much 2 cynical, illogical now
U think the world evolves around the way u wanna see it
Your crime's in every move, now u lose, oh
U may be beautiful, but I see right through u
It's all so black & white, white 2 gray, fade away
I'm bout 2 take u out, send u back into the fire...
How long - do I sit & wait 4 u 2 fin'lly come around?
How long - b4 I say it's time 2 go?
How long - do I stop & stare while u take it 4 granted?
How long - I gotta feel, I gotta know?
Tell me why, do u try, livin lies, I'm runnin outta time
All the same, all the games, well I don't wanna play
Doing time, such a crime, say goodbye 2 what u don't know
Cuz I'm on my way...
How long - do I sit & wait 4 u 2 fin'lly come around?
How long - b4 I say it's time 2 go?
How long - do I stop & stare while u take it 4 granted?
How long - I gotta feel, I gotta know?
