Ocean Waves lyrics

So many wasted days
Come and go like ocean waves
He hit me like a freight train
And now I can't get off my face

How could I have been so polite
To simply let her die
Who am I to spread my fingers
After you has filled my hands
Watching the moments slip through like desert sand
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/flyleaf/ocean_waves.html ]
Respect her ignorance
Just in case she takes offense
The darkness that's killing her
Well that is just not my concern

How could I have been so polite
To simply let her die
Who am I to spread my fingers
After you have filled my hands
Watching the moments slip through like desert sand

You're not guaranteed tomorrow
You're not guaranteed tomorrow

How could I have been so polite
To simply let you die
Who am I to spread my fingers
After you have filled my hands
Watching the moments slip through like desert sand
