lyrics
i've got expectations but they only cause me pain
(it's such a dirty game, it's such a dirty game)
i breathe in slowly, inhaling only time
(it's always on my mind, it's always on my mind)
i try to break free from what is keeping me in line
(it's always on my mind, it's always on my mind)
i've been wasting all this time
(thinking ahead)
and i think that i am fine
(breathe instead)
but i'm only right now
(let it go)
i'm only right now
please, let it go
it won't happen like that
stop worrying
time does not go that fast
you've got expectations, i can see them in your smile
(it will only last awhile, it will only last awhile)
you feel you have it all, yeah you feel you have it all
(there is nothing to have, there is nothing to have)
hold on to what you are
(never let go, never let go)
i've been wasting all this time
(thinking ahead)
and i think that i am fine
(breathe instead)
but i'm only right now
(let it go)
i'm only right now
please, let it go
it won't happen like that
stop worrying
time does not go that fast. . .
(it's such a dirty game, it's such a dirty game)
i breathe in slowly, inhaling only time
(it's always on my mind, it's always on my mind)
i try to break free from what is keeping me in line
(it's always on my mind, it's always on my mind)
i've been wasting all this time
(thinking ahead)
and i think that i am fine
(breathe instead)
but i'm only right now
(let it go)
i'm only right now
please, let it go
it won't happen like that
stop worrying
time does not go that fast
you've got expectations, i can see them in your smile
(it will only last awhile, it will only last awhile)
you feel you have it all, yeah you feel you have it all
(there is nothing to have, there is nothing to have)
hold on to what you are
(never let go, never let go)
i've been wasting all this time
(thinking ahead)
and i think that i am fine
(breathe instead)
but i'm only right now
(let it go)
i'm only right now
please, let it go
it won't happen like that
stop worrying
time does not go that fast. . .
