My Time
Been living my life the wrong way
Spreading my love way too thin
Giving my heart to just any girl
If I think she might take me in
Been making all the wrong choices
Wasting my life away
Still searching hard for the one
Who won't take my heart and run
Leaving me here to cry for another day
Tell me when is it gonna be my time?
Will love ever come here and stay?
I can't stand all the gloom
Alone in this room
I'm a man without a cause
I know I have my flaws
I need someone to help me through my day
I have been happy for short times
But it always seems to end too fast
I give everything that I can
Not knowing how to make it last
Maybe I expect miracles
Perhaps my needs are too great
But I'm quickly growing old,
And I’m still out in the cold
I think I missed my chance and now it’s too late
Tell me when is it gonna be my time?
Will love ever come here and stay?
I can't stand all the gloom
Alone in this room
I'm a man without a cause
I know I have my flaws
I need someone to help me through my day
Never going to stop looking,
I'm not the type to ever give in
I'll always keep on trying
Take my chance and hope this time I'll win
Maybe you think that I'm foolish
But though I made a few mistakes
I still have my love to give
And I still have my life to live
Ì'll get back up each time my heart breaks
Tell me when is it gonna be my time?
Will love ever come here and stay?
I can't stand all the gloom
Alone in this room
I'm a man without a cause
I know I have my flaws
I need someone to help me through my day
