Lyrics and structure:

*Intro*
*Interlude*

*Verse*
Being here alone 
I'm hoping for the time to see my way
Never hearing clearer
Sitting on this bright and sunny day

*Interlude*

*Verse*
Now I feel inclined
To look upon you now I'll never know
Playing on the slide and swings
And around and round we go

*Interlude*

*Pre-Bridge*
Leave me can't you see that I'm weary

*Bridge*
I never had what I desired
And you wouldn't let me play 
With the other kids there outside
They weren't good enough for me
While I sit here and scheme
With rabbit and teddy
Sweet revenge is asking me
To be set free

*Interlude*

*Verse*
I like to see you sometimes 
If only for a moment take your time
I can really see now
And I know what's your's and know what's mine
I see it's hopeless
Now the final stages have begun
I like it when it's raining
Makes it that much wetter than the sun

*Interlude*

*Pre-Bridge*
Turning back the pages of my new diary

*Outro*

Enjoy!
