Eats Away

(album: Stealing Chairs - 2002)

I can't stand
The taste of defeat
Just like any man
But I know I'll lose more sleep
If I waste another chance
For nothing more than the fear of the unknown

Don't wait

People may have broken down your trust in yourself
So you take that bitter pill and it hurts when you swallow down on it
And it sits inside of you and it slowly eats away
Take that step

So don't wait
'Cause you know you can't afford to

Take a step
Without your fear of failure
Let the rest
Just drop into place
You'll never know until you place some trust in yourself

Years will pass
But nothing may ever change
If you don't want that for a life and do something today
All those dreams that you have
Not that far out of reach
You can't live a life
A life of what ifs
The chances you had
The time that you waste
Realise now that they may never come again
The rest of your life has just begun
So step to the plate
What's done is done
