Intro

, * x2

 What do you see in flashes of light

 when you open your eyes and the world is too bright?

 Creatures from fantasy, or failures and flattering

 memories, altered to paint you the heroine

 Through the looking glass,

 keep an eye on your past

 and keep moving forwards without turning back

 But truth is distorted through mirrors and glasses

 and I'm in your blindspot (Let the D ring out)

awaiting a glance

 Since that night of soap opera romance

 I can't share a single bed with

 anybody else

 And I wonder if you think about

 just giving me a call and saying,

 "Hey, remember me?

D (Let the D ring out)

Remember anything at all?"

 'Cause I try

 to live like there's living to do

 But I'm waiting for an answer

 and you're silent and too far away

 Tell me why

 I'm sitting here waiting for you

 I've been sitting so long

 I've forgotten the reasons you gave

 When you walked away

 Take a minute to open your eyes

 while the bright lights have faded, and stars fill the sky

 Look past the mirror, it's clouding your judgement

 a constant obstruction that hides the horizon

 You're much better off

 looking back once in a while

than fixing your thoughts on the future

 'cause every mistake is a lesson worth learning

 So I'll be your teacher

if you'll take me back

 All the prayers and the hope cannot save me

 I'm holding on tight, but you're letting me go

 So I'm trying to remember when

 you told me what love means

 and that sometimes it's applicable (Let the D ring again)

to what you feel for me

 'Cause I try

 to live like there's living to do

 But I'm waiting for an answer

 and you're silent and too far away

 Tell me why

 I'm sitting here waiting for you

 I've been sitting so long

 I've forgotten the reason you gave

 When you walked away

 When you walked away

((Play this bit softly, maybe a few palm-mutes))

 Still I try

 to live like there's living to do

 But I'm waiting for an answer

 and you just don't give a fuck either way

((Back to normal strumming/volume))

 Don't know why

 I'm sitting here waiting for you

 I've been waiting too long

 I just wish you'd turn round so you'd see

A (Let the A ring out)

I'm walking away

**END**

Enjoy,
