Wo-ooh, woo-ooh

And I′m trying, it's getting faster to change
The waste of a time (find another line)
And I′m trying, it's getting faster to change
The waste of a time (find another line)

Let me tell you, life is too short, don't waste your time
I never like to wait, I won′t down without a fight
I′m not afraid, this is my way to a brighter day
Replace what's missing, just believing

And I′m trying, it's getting faster to change
The waste of a time (find another line)
And I′m trying, it's getting faster to change
The waste of a time (find another line)

(I will pay for all my fault with no hesitation)
(Hesitation)

I′ve been waiting for a place
Where wrong to be right
I see my reflection
I see my reflection

And I'm trying, it's getting faster to change
The waste of a time (find another line)
And I′m trying, it′s getting faster to change
The waste of a time (find another line)

I've learned that no matter what happens
Or how bad it seems today
Life does go on
And it will be better tomorrow
I believe

I′ve learned that making a living
Is not the same thing as making a life
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance
Yes, a second chance

And I′m trying, it's getting faster to change
The waste of a time, find another line




And I′m trying, it's getting faster to change
The waste of a time, find another line
