I Waited For You
There you were looking at me, So sure that I would never leave.
You had that type of control and I craved for your energy.
Don't you get it you idiot I wanted to be with you.
Not a day went by where the constellations in the sky
wouldn't shine wouldn't mind that I was so deep in love
I would cry when you were gone. I wanted this to be
something special. All you ever gave me was hurt and
pleasure. Look what you've done, you've finally won
got me contradicting how I really feel. You wish
me bruised. A cut never sooth and now here I am
again waiting for. Honestly tell me how this could
be. The skies are falling and I would still be here.
You hurt me you did, you shut me and locked the door.
I waited for you and you never even bothered to show up.
How could you do this to me? When I was the one you needed?
How could you, I waited for you and wipe that conceited smile
off your face before I die. You wanted me to be in love, you
wanted me to drink you to the last drop. You wanted me hooked
again. I saw it in your eyes the red from the drugs you been
taking and still I waited for. Still I stayed with you. Some
time when I go away I will realize that you weren't in disguise.
You weren't my perfect boy toy. You didn't need me. You could
breath without me. I guess I was too blind to see the tears
you didn't cry for me. All alone sitting on a bench waiting
for you to come out. I looked for you... I waited in the storm.
I searched everywhere and then as I was about to give up I turned
back around and saw you getting off the train I started to smile
but then she rapped her around you and I fell. I waited for you.
I ran down the road and now the story continues with my addiction
to painful love I can't believe you did this to me. This isn't some
regular love story. I closed my eyes and said good night I waited
for you I thought as tears rolled down my eyes.
