Got something on my mind, can't find the words to say

Something got left behind, something standing in the way

How come I don't just tell you, how I feel inside

How come I sit here waiting, as the days go by

Oh I did something wrong, not long ago

Anyone can make a mistake, it's time to let it go

I should be on a corner, looking for a sign

How come I sit here waiting, as the days go by

I was looking for, I was waiting for a dream

I was hoping for, I was waiting for a dream

And I walk down empty streets, just minding my own

Sometimes standing in a crowd, feeling all alone

I should just pick myself up, give it one more try

How come I sit here waiting, as the days go by

I'm counting all my chances, to turn it all around

Somebody was talking to me, I didn't hear a sound

How come I don't just tell you, how I feel inside

How come I sit here waiting, as the days go by

I was looking for, I was waiting for a dream

I was hoping for, I was waiting for a dream
