I'll Never Win
Dan Wilde
With Fire In Mind (2013)

Well I don't know much about you, you don't tell me anything
I've been knocking at your window but you still won't let me in
And I'll admit I quite enjoy the mystery you're shrouded in
But I'm growing cold

And I know not of your sorrow or the distance that you've come
Of your preferred destination or the things you're running from
But if you're looking for another to confide in, I'm the one
Outside your door

How long are you gonna keep me waiting?
When you gonna let me in?
How long?
If we keep playing by your rules I'll never win

And it's not hard to sense you're troubled, there's a sadness in your eyes
Every time they start to wander, that's you trying to disguise
But I'm just waiting for the day you finally come to realise
That I'm on your side

'Cause it won't do you any good to keep it all locked up inside
If your history's too heavy, you should leave it all behind
You know it's nothing but a story weighing heavy on your mind
And it's no more real than that

How long, are you gonna keep me waiting?
When you gonna let me in?
How long?
If we keep playing by your rules I'll never win
