I'Ll Be Waiting

Once I had a friend that I could connect with No matter what I turned to him Until I realized that I was being used Always took But never gave Came to him with my pain But he always twisted The conversation back to him Now he weeps upon my shoulders Do I care? Guess I'll never really know And at the center of it all I know I always said Come to me if You've got a problem you can't fix But I'm feeling real used Everyone takes But no one gives But that's how it works Friends for life Such a fancy term For a liar's game Show me a friend for life And I'll be waiting For my day to arrive When my dreams come alive I'll be waiting for that day Now I have a lover who can't trust me The same way That I trust her She grasps onto the figments of a future Where all she sees Is what she owns But really, I still love her no matter what Even if she doesn't Feel quite the same A right blind fool, I give and give And they take and take And hell, that's just fine And at the center of it all I can feel the empty Hole within my heart Growing larger, I think I like it I guess I must I never put up a fight Maybe I like the pain Or maybe I really love them Love for life Such a noble term For a liar's game Show me a love for life And I'll be waiting For the day to arrive When my dreams come alive I'll be waiting for that day Once I had a friend that I could connect with No matter what I turned to him Now I have a lover who can't trust me The same way That I trust her Once I had the dream, I had to chase it And pray the ends justified the means And now I will shut my eyes Because I don't want to feel anything anymore
