lyrics

I'm standing here alone
Cold hands, tired bones
And I've walked these city streets
Since I could barely speak

Everybody here knows my name
And they say I'll never change
But I'm not one for regret
And my life's not over yet

I lost track of time
I'm light years away from where I want to be
And all that I've got
Is one beating heart but that's enough for me
I'm not begging for help
I just wish you could hear the words I want to say
But you don't know who I am
All you see is a man and his mistakes

I'm standing in a crowd
Watching you take a bow
And it's a little hard to breathe
'Cause I know it could have been me

Everybody here knows my name
But they say it's such a shame
That I tried to run but fell
And blamed everyone but myself

I lost track of time
I'm light years away from where I want to be
And all that I've got
Is one beating heart but that's enough for me
I'm not begging for help
I just wish you could hear the words I want to say
But you don't know who I am
All you see is a man and his mistakes

I made a promise I can't keep
I climbed so high and fell so deep
You tried to warn me of this place
But it was too late, I disappeared without a trace

I lost track of time
I'm light years away from where I want to be
And all that I've got
Is one beating heart but that's all I need
I'm not begging for help
I just wish you could hear the words I want to say
But you don't know who I am
All you see is a man and his mistakes
