Deadline

How come I never had a deadline
How long to stay awake
While the neighbour's kids would go to sleep
before it was half-past eight.

How come you would'nt call me
while the sun went down the drain
briused knees were never that bad
but this scar inside remained

How come you never told me
I could never win this game
no matter how long I stay outside
I'd be a loser all the same

~why did you let me play
why did you let me lose
how come you never said
Baby come home,it's late

~why did you let me play
why did you let me break
Ma,why did'nt you say
Baby come home,it's late
