What do you do when your
heart is ripped beyond recognition
Do you sit around and wait
for it to be torn some more?
Who do you call when your
soul is dropped in the river
Do you sit around and wait
for it to drown?
Where do you go when your
mind is cracked on a sidewalk
Do you sit around and wait
for it to melt?
Why won't anyone answer me
when I'm depressed and alone
Do I sit around and wait
for someone to kick me?
How do you cope when you
are as described before
Do you sit around and wait
for the world to pass
Maybe someday things will start
to work out for the best
but until then, I guess I'll
sit around and just wait
