this could take a lifetime

i've been waiting at the greyhound station

i've been trying to find someone like you

but i never do

i've been trying to change my patterns

so i could love someone like you

but i never do

and this could take a lifetime

to believe in something true

but i hope that's not what i do

you've been walking around these same sad circles

trying to find someone to stand by you

baby i have too

you've been trying to believe in someone

after all the things she did to you

you know i've been there too

and this could take a lifetime

to believe in something true

but i hope that's not what you do

and this could take a lifetime

to believe in someone as true

but i hope that's not what i do
