lyrics

My smile is just a little wry
I can take it with a grain of salt
Instead of getting sleep i try
To make up for my lost and precious time

I could play a role
But i lost the cool to keep control
Never mind the deal
It was well discussed but not agreed

It's a status quo again
A draw in every game we play
I guess that sums it up
We never lost
We never won

Not a chance we'll ever change
Or that we’ll find the one to blame
No one's right or wrong
We never lost
We never won

I used to be alright
But now i can feel the pressure rise
Here is another new ordeal
It’s me again against my self-esteem

Thank you for the signs
They could've served me well but i was blind
Thank you for your time
It was good to have you by my side

My smile is just a little wry
I can take it with a grain of salt
Instead of getting sleep i try
To make up for my lost and precious time

Thank you for the signs
I bet you knew they were out of sight
Thank you for your time
I wish i’d known i was wasting mine
