Waiting

We never had it all
But we were so good at pretending.
No reason to be afraid
That we were close to ending.

You tore down all my walls
Broke down my last defense.
I'm on the verge of overflow
And running out of sense.

So what exactly did I do
To deserve all your abuse?
All I know is that I don't
Want another bad excuse.

And I keep waiting
For you to change your mind.
Forget what's there in front of you
It's time to look behind.

I gave you everything I had
More than I thought I could.
So now I'm reeling in the blame
When it's really you that should.

I've never said all I've felt
I'm scared to make it true.
There's only so much I can say
I leave the rest to you.

It's hard to make amends
When she's all that I see.
Is she everything you wanted
A better girl than me?

The hurt still comes in waves
Each one worse than the last.
All I can do is suffer
And wait until they've passed.

It isn't easy to be friends
And forget that there was more.
When all I really want
Is to go back to before.
