Call it jealousy or misplaced dreams
For wanting more than behind the scenes
More than just a little glimpse of the spotlight
I work day and night
And night and day
No matter how I try it's all the same
(You breeze on by and I'm left behind)

Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (When's all the karma gonna kick in, for all the work I've put in?)
Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (What if I said that I wanted it more than anything?)
Oh when do I get to have it easy? (like you, like you, like you)
Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (To reach)

Call it arrogance or senseless stress
But my best was always worth less
It's obvious in how far we've climbed
Frustration is an understatement
I've scaled walls but I can't get over this
(You breeze on by and I'm left behind)

Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (When's all the karma gonna kick in, for all the work I've put in?)
Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (What if I said that I wanted it more than anything?)
Oh when do I get to have it easy? (like you, like you, like you)
Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (To reach)

I wish I didn't care
'Cause I just can't compare
And oh how the bitterness stings
What am I doing wrong?
Do I just not belong?
Oh why can't I excel at something?
Like you (like you, like you)
Like you (like you, like you)

And I'm left behind
You breeze on by and I'm left behind
You breeze on by and I'm left behind

Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (When's all the karma gonna kick in, for all the work I've put in?)
Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (What if I said that I wanted it more than anything?)
Oh when do I get to have it easy? (like you, like you, like you)
Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (To reach)

Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (When's all the karma gonna kick in, for all the work I've put in?)
Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (What if I said that I wanted it more than anything?)
Oh when do I get to have it easy? (like you, like you, like you)
Oh when's it gonna be my turn? (To reach)
