Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

Doesn't mean I'll stop

Doesn't mean I'm across



Just because I'm hurting

Doesn't mean I'm hurt

Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved

No better and no worse



I just got lost!

Every river that I tried to cross

Every door I ever tried was locked

Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off



You might be a big fish

In a little pond

Doesn't mean you've won

'Cause along will come

A bigger one



And you'll be lost!

Every river that you tried to cross

Every gun you ever held went off

Oh and I'm just waiting til the firing's stopped

Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off



Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off

Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off
