After it happened, when all the smoke cleared,
How did it feel to you? Did it seem weird?
Such a charmed life, nothing ever mattered,
Everything was yours to take
One mistake and
Everything fell apart, everything changed,
Sitting there bleeding out, isn't it strange?
When they hit you, you can feel them hit you,
Weaknesses they all can see
Just like me
Now your heart's all done
But your head won't let you run
Dying where you stand
All this "wait and see",
All this "what will be, will be",
That sounds like the plan
Of an ordinary man
You say no one tells you the ending
But it ends this way
You can take it back if you wanted
But it might be over anyway
Haven't you done enough saving by now?
Can't they take care of each other somehow?
All the questions, is it really over?
Is he gonna take the fall?
Worst of all
You start to think maybe they're right about you
Maybe it's over now, maybe it's true
And you know you're never gonna stand up
Be who you're supposed to be
Just like me
Now your heart's all done
But your head won't let you run
Dying where you stand
All this "wait and see",
All this "what will be, will be",
That sounds like the plan
Of an ordinary man
