There's a time when we try   to begin what is ending   if at first you don't succeed   then we just end up pretending   if the dream isn't real   is the lie worth defending?   close your eyes, cover your ears   shut your mouth      (pre-chorus)   You can act naive   But I know you're not stupid      (chorus)   You'll wake up when I walk out   isn't that the way it plays?   the leaver leaves, the stayer stays   you wouldn't make a move, so I made mine   isn't it a pity?   I wish you were really in it for life   I wish that you were in it for life      What you give is what you get   and what you got's now next to nothing   'cause the life that you've accepted   is the one that's least disruptive   are you aware of the face   that when I pull, there's no pulling back   you have half the mind, half the heart   half the will      (pre-chorus)   You can act naive   But I know you're not stupid      (chorus)   You'll wake up when I walk out   isn't that the way it plays?   the leaver leaves, the stayer stays   you wouldn't make a move, so I made mine   isn't it a pity?   I wish you were really in it for life   I wish that you were in it for life      (bridge)   Some people talk like they can't hear   some people walk but get nowhere   and when I'm done with the run I'm going on   I'm sure I'll be   your biggest regret   you'll never forget      (outro)   yeah you can run, but you can't hide   'cause everything you're running from is locked inside   so let it the f*#k out!
