"Were You Waiting" lyrics

"Were You Waiting"

The lights, the lights they fall on you
But places that you knew don't look the same
The nights, the nights they called on you
By morning light you sunk your head in shame

But was there something
Something worth saving
When you were looking inside yourself
Yeah, there was something
Something worth saving, you saved yourself

That life, that life they gave to you
Wouldn't suit the roaches in the grounds of hell
The fight, the fight that grew in you
Wouldn't keep a corpse from swinging til the bell

But was there something
Something worth saving
When you were looking inside yourself
Yeah, there was something
Something worth saving, you saved yourself

But was there something
Something worth saving
When you were looking inside yourself
Yeah, there was something
Something worth saving, you saved yourself

When the time came, you played it like a sick game
The finish line, it seemed so far away
A stolen child with in an unrelenting wild
With the scars that rid the cause to bear the blame

But was there something
Something worth saving
When you were looking inside yourself
Yeah, there was something
Something worth saving, you saved yourself
