"I'll Be Waiting" lyrics - THE OFFSPRING

Once I had a friend
That I could count on
So I thought
Well so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks
And who wears the faces
Well I guess I'll never know

But as I stand here alone
In a room full of people
With nothing to say
Beer on their minds
And smoke in the air
Call them your friends
But they just don't care

Friend for life
Such shallow words
For broken minds
Show me a friend for life
Cause I'll be waiting
For that day will arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other
Just too well
Cause when we're together
We just can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what we want
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Who's at fault in this game
Of yours and mine
Well I guess I'll never know

But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl who came
Softly inside me
The look in her eyes
The smell of her hair
Call her my own but is she really there

Love for life
Such noble words for noble minds
Show me a love for life
Cause I'll be waiting
For that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

Once I had a friend that I could count on
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other
Just too well

Once I saw a dream, I had to chase
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Now let me close my eyes
Because I don't want to see anything anymore
