[Verse 1: Benjamin Perri]
So I'm sorry
As two hands open doors
Something serene to steal my life away

[Chorus 1: Francis Mark]
Climbing on the way up
Sizing up the competition
Waiting for the right time
To strike a chord and change your life

[Verse 2: Benjamin Perri]
Don't you ever think for one second that
I will forget the reasons that I cried
You are no more potent than words that choke me
I sit and ask you two words

[Chorus 2: Francis Mark]
But this is not a product
And we're not in a competition
Waiting for the right time
To strike a chord and change your life

[Bridge: Benjamin Perri]
Regret's how I spell your name
In light of what you have done
How can you not feel the same?
My love will fade with the sun
As days go by, shed a tear
I hate your face
More than life
I'll fake a smile for (you) my dear
So turn away
[Chorus 1: Francis Mark]
Climbing on the way up
Sizing up the competition
Waiting for the right time
To strike a chord and change your life
