My useless little sands

I didn't mean to hurt you
and pretend to say goodbye
I was just so angry
that people could still lie

I know it wasn't you
but it just made me think
that all the old time values
have gone right down the sink

I opened up my heart
and let them wander in
watched as they tore at me
and threw me in the bin

As if I was just trash
another useless toy
someone not so special
another girl or boy

I was really focused
on my world of pain
on fighting to the top
and my personal gain

I forgot to look
a little deeper inside
to listen to the little voice
and take refuge by your side

Sometimes I almost wish
I didn't have free will
but reality suggests
I'd be just another kill

What useless daydreams
I subject you to hear
I really don't always notice
just how much you're near

Abba I hope you heard my song
and that it made you smile
Watching me come back home
after leaving for a while

Abba I love you so much
I don't see how it can be
that your thoughts toward me
outnumber the sands in the sea

Yet my useless little sands
are all focused on me
so Abba I want you to know
you're everything I want to be

And no matter how much it hurts
Your word is where I stand
and I'll never have to think about
my useless little sands
