Butch Vig - The Great Disappointment lyrics

[Verse 1] I can remember a place I used to go Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful I can remember, I searched for the amaranth I'd shut my eyes to see [Pre-Hook] Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones I knew they would appear, saw not a single one Oh, how I smiled then, waiting so patiently I'd make a wish and bleed [Hook] While I waited I was wasting away While I waited I was wasting away [Verse 2] I can remember, dreamt them so vividly Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me I can remember when I first realized Dreams were the only place to see them [Hook 2] While I waited I was wasting away While I waited I was wasting away While I waited I was wasting away Hope was wasting away Faith was wasting away I was wasting away [Bridge] I never, never wanted this I always wanted to believe I never, never wanted this How could I have become? I never, never wanted this But from the start I'd been deceived I never, never wanted this How could I have become? I never, never wanted this I always wanted to believe I never, never wanted this I never, never wanted this But from the start I'd been deceived I never, never wanted this [Bridge 2] Inside a crumbling effigy But you promised So dies all innocence But you promised me [Hook 2]
