(Trying to get the message through)
   You took the sun from the sky, give it back
   You know I wouldn't take a bullet for you
   You bring me down 'cause of all that you lack
   You're underhanded and you're sly with it too
  
   In a moment of desperation
   We forgive and we compromise
   Reaching out for that one sensation - life
  
   No time for wasting my time
   I'm just trying to get the message through
   You hold up a mirror to me
   You know that all you'll ever see is you
   All you'll ever see is you
  
   You know you won't change the world from your back
   But still you lie there like a vacant fool
   What happens when all your credit runs out
   And I have to be kind to be cruel
  
   In a moment of desperation
   We forgive and we close our eyes
   Reaching out for that perfect love to survive hey, yeah, yeah
  
   No time for wasting my time
   I'm just trying to get the message through (trying to get the message through)
   You hold up a mirror to me
   You know that all you'll ever see is you
   All you'll ever see is you
  
   You just don't get it
   Do ya?

   No time for wasting my time
   I'm just trying to get the message through (trying to get the message through)
   You hold up a mirror to me
