It's a tragedy in waiting
And there's something on my mind
It's hard enough for me to carry onWell, it's a tragedy in waiting
And there's something on my mind
It's hard enough for me to carry onWell, call me pleasure if you like
But believe me when I say
I will learn to change it allIt's not like I'm asking for the sky to open up
I don't believe that's possible just yetWell, it's a tragedy in waiting
And there's something on my mind
It's hard enough for me to carry onHave you ever left your suitcase
Open long after you land
'Cause you're scared to find a way
To love them closeA destiny may wait and there's present in hand
But they forgot to tell me how to end this showCould it be that I'm the one
Who holds my hand behind my back
Well, I know that this is possible by now
But destiny may take me so far from where I am
But it's hard enough for me to hold it downYou want me so badly to give right into you
But I'm afraid that cannot be the case today
You dream of land and marriage, just me and you
Oh, my mind won't you leave me be
Won't you just leave me for meLove is the only way out of this
It's the only way I can get back into itBe an afternoon or more beyond the breaking of the day
There is always something waiting there for me
I've asked again and then again just to glimpse into my day
But someone's trying to make it hard on meCould it be that I'm the one
Who tied my hand behind my back
Well, I know that this is possible right nowIt's a tragedy in waiting
When there's something plaguing the mind
And it's hard enough for love to hold me downWell, I don't believe it
Well, I can't believe it
Well, I don't believe it
I'll never believe it no, so I'm goneYou want me so badly to give right into you
Well I'm afraid that cannot be the case today
So you dream of land and marriage, just me and you
Oh, my mind won't you just leave me be
Won't you just leave me for meFor me
For me
For me
