Waiting in the silence with not a word to say
A consequence of decisions gone astray

Meaningless and empty is how it feels
Continue to indulge in your selfish ideals

Don't, don't wait around
Don't, don't wait around to follow your dreams

A teardrop falling but then wiped away
The regret you held onto for another day

Reality of this life will stare you in the face
And hold your secrets in a latch-box case

Don't, don't wait around
Don't, don't wait around to follow your dreams

And I've come this far and I'll stand my ground
No matter what they would say about me

And I've come this far and I'll stand my ground
No matter what they would say about me

And I've come this far and I've fallen down
And I'm not getting up this time.
