"I didn't change my name for good luck it just happened to mine
didn't ask for any reason or any of your time
I don't need your advertising i don't seek for diamond eyes
i don't fit in your perfection i don't fit into your lie

but to you my darling for you i truly sing
for you me crazy babe i would do just anything
just to get close to you just to get close to you
so until that day is mine

and the other night you made me dance but now i act insane
and i try to find reason and i try not to be strange
and i think that is funny cause i'm nowhere near like you
now you made of me a villain but maybe that's more true

and i'm searching for my pride again
as i'm haunting for your eyes again
but you're no where to be found tonight
still i wait in every morning light
until that day is mine

so is it me the one who is out of side or am i running out of time
do you want to see me present yet to guard you through the night
is your vision to be save and told that everything's alright
when the whole god dame world knows about the danger of this tide
well then i would come back for you yes i would come back for you
knowing you would walk away knowing you would walk away as soon as you where saved

and then you might not will remember me or act like you're surprised
when everyone's surrounding you but darling that don't mind
just turn around and look at me when you pass me in the aisle
i still hold a thousand doors for you to talk to you and i
could get close to you yes i could get close to you
and why won't you see me through, knowing i would never leave
knowing i would never leave

so until that day is mine
darling i would wait for you i would wait for you
and why won't you see me through i would wait for you my love my love my love"
