The Straights - Piece of Mind Lyrics

I left today empty handed
Just a shame you don't understand it
That I'll sing the words
That you don't know
I walk a mile at every protest
Another low without no progress
Short and sweet
A passing dream, hello
Lost yourself in tinted windows
At the bank counting zero's
I can't breathe at all now you will see
Better days you've seen will flood back
F*cked up, stuck like a thumb tack
On my knees and asking
Where'd you go
It's what you're saying
And I'm still waiting
And I'm waiting tonight
To be by your side
In a place we can hide
For a little piece of mind
Talking is all I'm good for
Said it once to me way before
I will see the light
And change my ways
Things might change maybe
Words that hurt, they don't even faze me
All your letters I burned
To keep me warm
Sitting smart on the sofa
Who are you
You don't even know her
If you cast a stone, then you'll get caught
Shade and shadows we conceive
Follow each and every dream
Walk the path of chance
And we might make it
It's what you're saying
And I'm still waiting
And I'm waiting tonight
To be by your side
In a place we can hide
For a little piece of mind
I left today empty handed
Just a shame you don't understand it
That I'll sing the words
That you don't know
I walk a mile at every protest
Another low without no progress
Short and sweet
A passing dream, hello
No one said it was easy
The scars on your arms run deeply
All of what you've got
You've gotta believe
Don't leave it all to chance
Embers of a short romance
Take of what you will
I'll stay right here
It's what you're saying
And I'm still waiting
And I'm waiting tonight
To be by your side
In a place we can hide
For a little piece of mind
And I'm waiting tonight
To be by your side
In a place we can hide
For a little piece of mind
