locked  up  tight  but  holdin'the  key
clock  keeps  tickin'like  it's  laughin'at  me
i  wonder
what  spell  i'm  under
days  go  by  in  a  pulseless  haze
who's  that  person  that's  wearin'my  face
denyin'
what  he's  hidin'
i  can't  go  on  like  this
i  won't  let  myself  miss  the  rest  of  my  life
chorus:
when  something's  come  and  gone
what  good  is  holdin'on?
why  waste  tomorrow  chasin'yesterday?
i  part  my  lips  to  speak
but  the  words  are  out  of  reach
i  guess  that  really  means
there's  nothin'left  to  say
i  guess  we  could  carry  on  livin'asleep
who  is  the  fool  who  could  choose  to  just  keep  pretendin'
that  this  ain't  endin'?
i  wish  you  all  that  i  wish  for  myself
to  have  that  ache  of  emptiness  behind  us
and  not  still  inside  us
it's  time  to  take  that  dare
there's  still  a  world  out  there  waitin'for  me
chorus:
when  something's  come  and  gone
what  good  is  holdin'on?
why  waste  tomorrow  chasin'yesterday?
i  part  my  lips  to  speak
but  the  words  are  out  of  reach
i  guess  that  really  means
there's  nothin'left  to  say
we  did  the  best  we  could
just  like  we  thought  we  should
but  sometimes  you've  got  to  just  let  go
chorus:
when  something's  come  and  gone
what  good  is  holdin'on?
why  waste  tomorrow  chasin'yesterday?
i  part  my  lips  to  speak
but  the  words  are  out  of  reach
i  guess  that  really  means
there's  nothin'left  to  say
there's  nothin'left  to  say
nothin'left  to <-6>say
