Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I will cross Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve No better and no worse I just got lost Every river that I've tried to cross And every door I ever tried was locked Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the shine wears off. You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause along may come A bigger one And you'll be lost Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the firing starts Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the shine wears off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the shine wears off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the shine wears off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the shine wears off.
