I've been waiting
Such a long time
Looking out for you
But you're not here
What's another year?
I've been waking
Such a long time
Reaching out for you
But you're not near
What's another year?
What's another year
To someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year
To someone who's getting used to being alone?
I've been praying
Such a long time
It's the only way to hide the fear
What's another year?
What's another year
To someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year
To someone who's getting used to being alone?
I've been crying
Such a long time
With such a lot of pain in every tear
What's another year?
(To someone who is getting used to being alone)
What's another year?
(To someone who is getting used to being alone)
What's another year?
(To someone who is getting used to being alone)
