Eventually

I'm an opportunity and I knock so softly

Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just get off me

So many players you'd think I was a ball game

It's every man for themselves, there are no team mates

This life gets lonely when everybody wants something

They'll smile up in your face

But they'll get theirs eventually

And I hope I'm there



Surrounded by familiar faces without names

None of them know me or want to share my pain

And they only wish to bask in my light, then fade away

To win my love, to them a game

To watch me live my life in vain

When all is done and the glitter fades, fades away

They'll get theirs eventually

And I hope I'm there



I drank your poison 'coz you told me it's wine

Shame on you if you fooled me once

Shame on me if you fooled me twice

I didn't know the price

You'll get yours eventually



So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?

You'll get yours, yes you'll get yours

Eventually
