I won't listen, you won't tell
Bound for failure, wish me well now
Put my weary, mind at ease
'Cause everything's hollow, and everything's cold
Like every time we've lost control
So I'll keep waiting for this moment for the rest of my days
Feels like I'm trying to hitch a ride that's never coming my way
No matter what I'll be the last to surrender
I'll lay it all on the line, for the last time
Like playing with fire, then playing with ice
Played it down to my last 5, then rolling the dice
Why does it matter, why does it matter
Well why does it matter to me
'Cause everything's hollow, and everything's cold
Like every time we've lost control
So I'll keep waiting for this moment for the rest of my days
Feels like I'm trying to hitch a ride that's never coming my way
No matter what I'll be the last to surrender
I'll lay it all on the line
So I'll keep waiting for this moment for the rest of my days
Feels like I'm trying to hitch a ride that's never coming my way
No matter what I'll be the last to surrender
I'll lay it all on the line
What a shame!
Well what a shame!
We'll hold our ground, here
We'll hold our ground, here
So I'll keep waiting for this moment for the rest of my days
Feels like I'm trying to hitch a ride that's never coming my way
No matter what I'll be the last to surrender
I'll lay it all on the line
So I'll keep waiting for this moment for the rest of my days
Feels like I'm trying to hitch a ride that's never coming my way
No matter what I'll be the last to surrender
I'll lay it all on the line, for the last time
