When the time came to hit the mark 
I was waiting alone in the dark 
When the time came to betray 
I resisted it, turned and walked away 
And still I felt I'd failed 
My sadness thinly veiled 
I cannot understand why it went where it did 
Had the world in my hands 
Gave all I could give 
I cannot find the words 
To explain what went wrong 
It was here, now it's gone 
When the day came to drive away 
I told myself I'd find a way 
To keep my hand in, in the game 
Now three years later I'm still hanging on to the chain 
And still I feel I've failed 
My anger thinly veiled 
I live on the edge of nowhere 
Impossible to get a grip on happiness 
Just leave me alone
