It was meant to be But all along it never meant a thing Never stopped to ask you why You didn't pass me by Did you see me in your life Flash before your eyes Was it just that I wasn't hard enough Hard enough for you Stop using my Confusion Wait, wait There's a world out there Don't you deny me Give me one last wish There's a world out there Elementary I solved them all All your mysteries Settle down and in good time We can solve all mine Tell me lies or tell me when Tear me up again And I will let you know When I've had enough Had enough of you Stop using my Confusion Wait, wait There's a world out there Don't you deny me Give me one last wish There's a world out there I know you've got your reasons Hey let's call it even Turn out all the lights and go to bed Still I get this feeling No one will believe me When I let these ghosts outside my head There's a world out there Don't you deny me Give me one last wish Don't you deny me There's a world out there Don't you deny me Give me one last wish There's a world out there
