Well I just strum the chords and sing the words   It's probably gonna get much worse   Before the sun decides to shine again   Well I turned 23 this past July   And all my dreams they seem to fly away   For reasons I don't understand      This is not the way   That I'd hoped to be   This is not the way      So if you'd wait for me   Come on, wait for me, I'll try   Maybe we'll find a simple answer tonight   If you just wait for me, I'll try      I live to take with no remorse   I would rather chart a course   To hell than tread too gently as I step   See my brother's eyes remember    That we're not the walking dead   We're broken but we're better off like this   We're broken but we're better off like this      I am not the way   That I'd hoped to be   I am not the way      So if you'd wait for me   Come on, wait for me, I'll try   Maybe we'll find a simple answer tonight   If you just wait for me, I'll try      And I will lose but never compromise   Always battered by the rolling tide   Keeping faith won't set my mind at ease   I would love to find some restful sleep      Cause I am not the way   That I'd hoped to be   I am not the way      So if you'd wait for me   Come on, wait for me, I'll try   Maybe we'll find a simple answer tonight   If you just wait for me, I'll try   If you just wait for me, I'll try   If you just wait for me, I'll try
