[Verse 1]

I push my pain into my chest

I swallow anger when you're there

And deep down inside it hurts my pride to know

(Who waves the long goodbye)

The passage of time I can't control

(Who waves the long goodbye)

[Chorus]

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough

Dying to survive in a

Life we both denied for so long

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough

Dying to survive in a

Life we both denied for so long

[Verse 2]

And I called you every single day

I slept upon your bed of nails

And in compromise I was your only child

(To wave the long goodbye)

[Chorus]

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough

Dying to survive in a

Life we both denied for so long

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough

Dying to survive in a

Life we both denied for so long

For so long

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough

Dying to survive in a

Life we both denied for so long

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough

Dying to survive in a

Life we both denied for so long
