It's Always Harder To Watch From the Sidelines

I've tried so hard to solve the problem
but this machine isn't stoppin
The motion has been set 
and the time has not been spent
I know I could have stopped
I could have cought my heart instead of watching it drop
Now I wait on a bed of nails
And every beat causes another impale
I could have predicted the end
I was just to busy thinking of ways to begin
Wipe away the tears
and face your fears
Cause tonight we live in a different light
and nothing can change my mind
