eventually

i am an opportunity
and i knock so softly
sometimes i get loud
when i wish everybody'd just
get off me
so many playas you'd think i was a ball game
its every man for themself, there are no team mates
this life gets lonely when everybody wants something
this might have been your fate
but they'll get their's eventually
and i hope i'm there
surrounded by familiar faces without names
none of them know me or want to share my pain
and they only wish to bask in my light
then fade away
to win my love, to them a game
to watch me live my life in pain
when all is done and the glitter fades, fades away
they'll get their's eventually
and i hope i'm there
i drank your poison
cuz you told me its wine
shame on you if you fool me once
shame on me if you fool me twice
i didn't know the price
you'll get yours eventually
