I Waited

I'm not sure what you want from me, You can't act like you didn't see, I watched you walk away from me But I waited. Thought that you would change your mind. That it was impossible for you to be that blind Didn't think you could leave me behind. So I waited. You said leaving her would be too rough And I wanted so badly to call your bluff And maybe it would be enough That I waited. But I don't know how long I was supposed to spend Nursing a broken heart you wouldn't mend I could feel us coming to an end Still I waited Too see if you would pull me through You knew my heart was black and blue But pretended you didn't have a clue That I waited And now you can't believe it's true I fell for someone who isn't you Never thought I'd find someone new Because I waited So excuse me if I ignore you begging please You look so silly on your knees We used to talk with so much ease That's why I waited And though you think my new loves fake That's just a chance I have to take And now you feel my heartache Cause now you're waiting
