Please don't wait for me —
I lost my way again,
I lost my job, I walked away
From the life that I was leading with my friends.
When I was young I dreamed
Of a life that had freedom that had joy.
Oh, life. It crushed my soul
With its cruel demands and fool's gold
Please don't wait for me —
I lost my way again,
I lost my house and my good name.
When I found the road of my king.
When I was young I dreamed
Of a life that had beauty that had joy.
But now I lost my life
For the one I dreamt of as a boy
Please don't wait for me —
I ain't coming back again.
I cannot turn around
From the place I'm going,
To where I've been
