Eventually

I'm an opportunity
And I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud
When I wish everybody'd just get off me
So many players you'd think I was a board game
It's every man for himself
There are no teammates.

This life gets lonely
When everybody wants something
They'll smile up in your face,
But they'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there.

Surrounded by familiar faces with no names
None of them know me
Or want to share my pain
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 vain
When all is done
And the glitter fades away
They'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there.

I drank your poison
'Cause you told me it's wine
Shame on you if you fooled me once
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually.

So what good am I to you
If I can't be broken
You'll get yours, yes
You'll get yours eventually.
