Ive been running out of
My 70 excuses

There comes a point when patience
Cant take all these abuses
Now my reserves are empty

Im feeling kind of low
Because when do you fight for someone
And when do you let em go

The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine


Ive been waiting for you to come to your senses
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
You dont have to carry that weight all by yourself

Even you the mercenary could use a little help
Youve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
You never run, but you sure know how to hide


My friend said he had seen you
At a movie theatre

You looked just had you had always
Didnt ask about me either
I wont say life ends without you

But youre the only answer
You got me like a thief
You got me with my hands up

The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine


Ive been waiting for you to come to your senses
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
You dont have to carry that weight all by yourself

Even you the mercenary could use a little help
Youve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
You never run, but you sure know how to hide


[Bono duet with himself]


Your wish is falling before you
The stars are frustrating
Youre always [into] waiting love


Yeah, theres something wrong
Yeah, be safe now

Theres a faith in my heart
Going days wont stop
When I feel that Im still

In the beat of your soul
When you talk
When you write

When you weave and you flow
And you leave and you stay
Only waiting is left

Now Im kneeling around in the cold

Ive been waiting for you to come to your senses

Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
You dont have to carry that weight all by yourself
Even you the mercenary could use a little help

Youve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
You never run, but you sure know how to hide
