I'll Be Waiting Lyrics - Offspring

Once I had a friend that I could count on 

So I thought 

Well so it seemed 

But times of need are not enough 

To prove your friendship to me now 

Once I saw a face that I believed in 

But a mask was all there was 

So who wears the masks and who wears the faces 

Well I guess, I'll never know 

But as I stand here alone in a room full of people 

With nothin' to say 

Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air 

Call them friends but they just don't care

Friend for life 

Such shallow words for broken minds 

Show me a friend for life 

'Cause I'll be waitin' for that day to arrive 

When I'll feel alive 

I'll be waitin' for that day 

Once I found a love I had to know 

Now we might know each other just too well 

'Cause when we're together we just can't get enough 

Or is it we just can't get what we want 

Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it 

Dreams quickly turn to reality 

Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine 

Well I guess, I'll never know 

But as I sit here alone 

Think of the girl who came softly inside me 

The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair 

Call her my own but is she really there?

Love for life 

Such noble words for noble minds 

Show me a love for life 

'Cause I'll be waitin' for that day to arrive 

When I'll feel alive 

I'll be waitin' for that day 

Friend for life 

Such shallow words for broken minds 

Show me a friend for life 

'Cause I'll be waitin' for that day to arrive 

When I'll feel alive 

I'll be waitin' for that day 

Once I had a friend that I could count 

Times of need are not enough 

Once I found a love I had to know 

Now we might know each other just too well 

Once I saw a dream I had to chase 

Dreams quickly turn to reality 

Now let me close my eyes 

Because I don't want to see anything anymore
