Now I think I know why It's hard when you discover You sounded so strange on the telephone Dreams so real you thought the smoke might never clear Now you hide it all behind endless cigarettes and tears What keeps you going keeps you all alone You get yourself so high One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough Somebody waits for the time I know will never come Then you come down feeling blue There's a thousand shining moments Waiting just to happen to you There's no sense leaving when you're down so low Wait until you're stronger Well it takes the heart a little longer To see the point in finally letting go When it's all too much you feel like slipping down again You lose your touch out there standing in the rain Somebody waits for the time I know will never come You get yourself so high One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough Then you come down feeling blue There's a thousand shining moments Waiting just to happen to you Somebody waits for the time I know will never come You get yourself so high Then you come down feeling blue One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough There's a thousand shining moments Waiting just to happen to you
