Man Alive - Trying To Pretend

I've waited outside your door
Too long for it to make a difference anymore
The things that I could do or say
To make this state of mind of mine just go away
Are all gone

Chorus:
And it's time to break up all this stony ground
And it's time I just let the wind turn me around
And I give up always trying to pretend that I'm okay

This waiting game that I've been playing
Isn't quite what I had had in mind
And yet I find it should be over by this time
Defeat is mine, and still I try

[Repeat Chorus]
