He will lay down his life to save the world,
But all it takes it one fair girl,
With the bat of her eyes he no longer finds,
He is where he used to be.
How can this be real? His Achilles heel
If he could have his way he’d spin and walk away,
But in the end you’ll hear him say.
I will wait cause it’s got to be true,
And there’s nothing in this dream if there’s no you.
I will wait please don’t push me away.
I’m a man not a boy don’t use me in this ploy to crush my heart.
My heart.
You would think after once the point would be made,
That a young man’s heart is a game to be played.
It would seem that men control all things,
But it’s his counterpart that plays his strings.
How can this be real? His Achilles heel
If he could have his way he’d spin and walk away,
But in the end you’ll hear him say.
I will wait cause it’s got to be true,
And there’s nothing in this dream if there’s no you.
I will wait please don’t push me away.
I’m a man not a boy don’t use me in this ploy to crush my heart.
My heart.
Oh time heals all, any fall.
But, one day you’ll see a way
Alone and happy and you’ll say
I won’t wait. No I won’t be fooled,
Cause my life will still live on if there’s no you.
I won’t wait I can’t wait for you.
There’s a light in my life not some half-sincere wife that fills me up.
That fills my heart.
