Three strikes against me My sister can't sleep Waiting for me when I'm gone She wishes I'd distance myself from those streets Not wake the fool 'til the dawn And then I see you completely distraught Claiming to be all the things that you're not Masking the truths until there's no end I've waited before but I won't... won't wait again Distanced by the days and the weeks and the months My mind it will never shake I really can't pinpoint just where you left off What's real what's masquerade And then I see you completely distraught Claiming to be all the things that you're not Masking the truths until there's no end I've waited before but I won't... won't wait again Three strikes against me My sister can't sleep Must put some ice on those wrinkles You claim you're hitting home runs Well triples at least You can't get a minor league single And now I find you completely distraught Claiming to be all the things that you're not Masking the truths until there's no end I've waited before but I won't wait again
