You can only push someone so far
You can only break so many hearts
Used to be love one another, now it's lust for your lover
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone

CHORUS:
You can only wait, you can only wait so long
You can only wait, you can only wait so long
In this game we play, we can't tell right from wrong
But you can only wait so long

Here comes the memories of yesterday
Here's the poetry of all those things I couldn't say
You can only wait so long, before your flower petals are all gone
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone

CHORUS (2x)

Oh, why couldn't you call out for me? (call out to me)
It's not like I was ever far away (ever far away)
Said 'oh, tie me to the edge and start to leap'
There's nothing left here but a million words to say

You can only push someone so far
You can only break so many hearts
We all have memories and I have spent my time in pain
Don't give into enemies that will leave you with no rain
We will find a way somehow from this running just to not be found
You won't find me crying in what used to be home
You won't find me trying to burn bridges of stone
CHORUS (3x)

In this game we play, we can't tell right from wrong
But you can only wait so long
