Beat


i don't mind wasting time
it's just the beating of a drum
but you weren't kind, wouldn't stay in time
with the beating of the drum

this hide and seek was never about me
was never supposed to be what it became
still you wait and see what'll become of this
despite the many times i've told you
to get off my beat

you took my pride, left me dry
save for the beating of my heart
dark brown eyes, it's no surprise
can't hear the beating of your heart

then you point at me like i would deserve this
say you're not in any way to blame, so let the guilty rise
so relentlessly disarming and lonely
you can keep everybody fooled
but you won't beat the time

i've wet my eyes
they'll heal in time
it's just the beating of the drum
