I've tried to see the good
I gave it all I could
it didn't work my love

not how it should
compromising love
the sadness of your touch

the signs are all so clear
I've had enough


need a free mind
not a lover like you
independent but mine - ooh


[Chorus:]
holding out, waiting for - someone

conquering my heart
nothing's clear, when you're near
like a shadow in the dark


I'm dragging guilt behind
behaving so unkind

it's bringing out the bad
from deep inside


I'm sure not blaming you
nothing you could do
life can take a turn

and often burns
