Face Among The Rest

Derek Powazek

Where did I go wrong?

And it was so good for so long,

Until the day where you stared at my face

With nothing at all to say



So call me sometime

You don't know how hard I try

To pick up the phone, and to tell you I'm home

And feeling much more than alone



You can't tell me that I didn't mean it

When I told you that I couldn't feel it anymore...anymore



So I tried to be your friend,

But didn't matter in the end

Cause all I could see was a relfection of me

Trying too hard to be free



Thats my problem, not yours

Got your own to ignore

And I bet you'll find that in ten years time

I won't even cross through your mind



You can't tell me that you didn't feel it

When the moment was silently fleeting away...away



But I keep standing round

Waiting for someone to turn it all down

And I can't take, one more second of feeling abused,

And next to nothing

Cause I will take what I have left

And walk away, a face among the rest



The same is true for me

I'm still drowning in my need

For someone else who feels like I felt

When I just seventeen



This isnt about getting old,

Its about growing cold

To those who care enough to be there

When all of the hurt on the phones



You can't tell me that its all for nothing

Cause I know that there must be something again...again



But I keep standing round

Waiting for someone to turn it all down

And I can't take, one more second of being abused,

And next to nothing

And I will take what I have left

And walk away, a face among the rest
