Everything I Had Lyrics

Everything I tried to do has failed

Now it's time to walk away and reach for something else

Every day I get up and I go

In my mind I'm somewhere else but I end up at your door

Now and then, you offer up some rest

But when I'm back with the whip you crack it's back to work again

My release; it shouldn't be that bad

But as I left you snatched me back and took all that I had

Every time I tried to get away

Something or someone stood right in my way

Everyone told me the same thing

"Good things come to those who wait", I wonder what that means

Now and then, I think I see some light

But when I look, as it turns out, I'm still falling behind

All the things I thought were in my hand

Have gone away 'cause when I left you took all that I had

But I can live without you

No matter what you think I've still got all my dreams

All the things I need are waiting in my dreams
