Man Alive - Trying To Pretend lyrics

I've waited outside your door

Too long for it to make a difference anymore

The things that I could do or say

To make this state of mind of mine just go away

Are all gone

Chorus:

And it's time to break up all this stony ground

And it's time I just let the wind turn me around

And I give up always trying to pretend that I'm okay

This waiting game that I've been playing

Isn't quite what I had had in mind

And yet I find it should be over by this time

Defeat is mine, and still I try

[Repeat Chorus]
