How many men
Are pinin' after you?
I try my damndest
But I'm no good at playing cool
How many numbers
Are kissin' you goodnight?
Are you laughing with someone else
Long after I turned out my light?
Time is no consolation
When waiting is the hardest thing to do
I've stacked these bricks so high
I'm scared to see them fall
But I feel you knocking
With your hammer on these walls
I wish I could hold you
But I'm not sure that's what you want
So I'll check the locks
And this old castle I will haunt
Time is no consolation
When waiting is the hardest thing to do
Time is no consolation
When waiting is the hardest thing to do

I'm always miserable
So what if the whole school knows?
You'll never tell a soul
'Cause you don't know my name
Don't let the word get out
That tonight I think I'm goin' down
I may not be around
But you don't know my name
I dot my i's and cross my t's
I don't need your sympathy
'Cause it's not you, it's me
God I've tried to understand
If this is all part of a plan
Is there something better planned for me?
You've never seen the scars
From the cinderblock garden in my back yard
I'd pretend I could fly so far
And then they'd know my name
I remember second grade
When the boys and girls would go out to play
Our eyes all lit up the same
But I can't recall their names
I dot my i's and cross my t's
I don't need your sympathy
'Cause it's not you, it's me
God I've tried to understand
If this is all part of a plan
Is there something better planned for me?
I'm always miserable
So what if the whole school knows?
You'll never tell a soul

I can't wait to see you again
Standing there with all of our friends
Before I wake up
Before it ends
I can't wait to tell you you're wrong
I'm pretty sure you've known all along
But didn't say it
You couldn't take it
I can be whatever you want
Don't you want to be left alone?
You know I always cry when you're mad
You're scared I might end up like your dad
But I don't like those drugs
And I don't drink that much
But I can be whatever you want
You know you've got me under your thumb
I can be whatever you want
I guess I said I'd leave you alone

"It's 4 A.M. somewhere,"
You said with a smirk
"How much trouble is one life worth?"
I don't have your answers
'Cause I'm no better off
But I think you know that
Enough is enough
And I know you won't do it
'Cause you're all fuckin' talk
So step down from the chair
And let's take a walk
Tell me how long this
Has been going on
And I'll do what I can to
Help you be strong
I know why
You don't want to be alive
When the world's turned to Hell
Right in front of your eyes
I've been there myself
I've sat and stared across the void
With nobody else
I know that you're tired
Of feeling like nobody understands
But you're never alone
