Who's Waiting

You left me here stuck in the same old place

I don't move an inch in case you come back

I've waited for so long, did you lose your way?

Things around me seem to change but I feel the same

 

You always ran away when things got tough

And never spoke a word to a living soul

Living in secrecy, that’s all you knew

Hiding in the same place we got through

 

It was my fault that you disappeared again

So I'll wait here for you until you return

I want to go out and look for you

But by the time I'm there you'll be gone too

 

And this chase will never end

Everybody tells me it’s because you’re dead

They say that you took away your own life

I try to tell myself maybe it’s just a lie

 

For all the crazy, the love and moments that we shared

And all the hurting since you've been gone that I've had to bear

 

And it breaks me to come to see

That all this time who was really waiting was you for me
