Don't Wait Up
Sorry really never seemed to cut it
And being sorry only brings me down
So sorry won't do me no good
I wouldn't change things if I could
And sometimes what's lost
Doesn't really need to be found
So here's some memories to throw away
Just bury them deep from the light of day
They're weighing heavy on my back anyway
So don't you wait up for me
I'm not the man you thought I would be
I'm just a cloud in your cold blue sky
Simply passing by
And surely as the day will rise
It should come as no surprise
We got to let it be
We got to set it free
So don't you wait up for me
I know in time I may live to regret it
But such is the life of a rolling stone
And like a stone that gets thrown in the sea
I'll come to rest on the bottom eventually
Once free but probably all alone
I guess I'm just a restless soul with unobtainable goals
Try to find my way again
I guess I'm just a gambling man with a losing hand
Try to make a final stand
So don't you ever hang your hopes on me
That aint something I can guarantee
If there is one thing I know for sure
I'll be looking for the next open door
And being sorry only brings me down
So sorry won't do me no good
I wouldn't change things if I could
And sometimes what's lost
Doesn't really need to be found
So here's some memories to throw away
Just bury them deep from the light of day
They're weighing heavy on my back anyway
So don't you wait up for me
I'm not the man you thought I would be
I'm just a cloud in your cold blue sky
Simply passing by
And surely as the day will rise
It should come as no surprise
We got to let it be
We got to set it free
So don't you wait up for me
I know in time I may live to regret it
But such is the life of a rolling stone
And like a stone that gets thrown in the sea
I'll come to rest on the bottom eventually
Once free but probably all alone
I guess I'm just a restless soul with unobtainable goals
Try to find my way again
I guess I'm just a gambling man with a losing hand
Try to make a final stand
So don't you ever hang your hopes on me
That aint something I can guarantee
If there is one thing I know for sure
I'll be looking for the next open door
