In the hope I'll forget I'll wait   It's a chance I'll take oh yeah   In the hope I'll forget I'll wait   For the time      In the spring I'll watch my step   While the night-time passes by   When a smile suits me all alone   I'll be fine      There's got to be a better song to sing   Before I hang upon your shoulder   Telling the truth it may be bolder this time   There's got to be a better song to sing   That makes a lonely one less cold oh   Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry      Watching friends playing in the dirt   Feeling hard but feeling hurt   By the sadness that wastes my time   It's a crime      Counting acts which I must add   To collect sad memories   From a past I'd soon forget   Swap or leave      There's got to be a better song to sing   Before I hang upon your shoulder   Telling the truth it may be bolder this time   There's got to be a better song to sing   That makes a lonely one less cold oh      Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry   At the gate I'll wave goodbye   To the friends that were my lies   And I'll see them off at dawn   Feeling wise   Feeling wise   Feeling wise
