Well I don't know much about you, you don't tell me anything I've been knocking at your window but you still won't let me in And I'll admit I quite enjoy the mystery you're shrouded in But I'm growing cold And I know not of your sorrow or the distance that you've come Of your preferred destination or the things you're running from But if you're looking for another to confide in, I'm the one Outside your door How long are you gonna keep me waiting? When you gonna let me in? How long? If we keep playing by your rules I'll never win And it's not hard to sense you're troubled, there's a sadness in your eyes
Every time they start to wander, that's you trying to disguise But I'm just waiting for the day you finally come to realise That I'm on your side 'Cause it won't do you any good to keep it all locked up inside If your history's too heavy, you should leave it all behind You know it's nothing but a story weighing heavy on your mind And it's no more real than that How long, are you gonna keep me waiting? When you gonna let me in? How long? If we keep playing by your rules I'll never win
