The water crashes against the shore
I'm searching
Constantly hoping for something more
A tear slips down and strays shyly from my nose
I'm running in circles
Because whenever one door is opened, another door is closed

Because that's all I've mastered in this broke-down town
I know they say all that glitters is gold
But the more intelligent part of me quit believing everything I'm told
