All That Remains – The Waiting One lyrics
I am the waiting one it seems,
Days grow somber quickly,
Now how the quiet is release,
And I feel so lonely.

How did you think I would feel,
Throw me aside again,
How did you think I would feel.

Won't let you hurt me again, now,
I'm nothing to you, I can see,
Just walk away from me,
I'm torn up but I can't believe,
You sat and watched me bleed.

She knows the waiting one in me,
That I needed to hold you,
Still I can smell her, hear her breathe,
Feel her body beside me,

How long I've waited,
Waited for you,
To come back to hold me,
What should I, what should I,
What should I do,
When I feel so lonely.

How could you do this to me,
Betrayed by my closest friend,
How could you do this to me.

Won't let you hurt me again, now,
I'm nothing to you, I can see,
Just walk away from me,
I'm torn up but I can't believe,
You sat and watched me bleed.

What should I,
What should I do,
Well how long I have waited,
What can I,
What can I do,
When I feel so lonely.

How did you think I would feel,
Threw me aside again,
How did you think I would feel.

Won't let you hurt me again, now,
I'm nothing to you, I can see,
Just walk away from me,
I'm torn up but I can't believe,
You sat and watched me bleed.

How could you do this to me,
Betrayed by my closest friend,
How could you do this to me,
I won't let you hurt me again.

I am the waiting one it seems.

    I can relate to this song very much. It is exactly what every says, its about being betrayed by a loved one. A friend or bf/gf to be more clear. My gf who I loved with all my heart left me for another. She lied to me about being with someone else and when I did find out, she simply tossed me to the side. I told myself that maybe she would come back to me one day, but in my heart I know she never will. Still I am the waiting one, waiting for her to come back to me one day.

    The way I can relate to this song is how I was waiting for the girl who I really fell for. We both had feelings for each other. Everytime I got close to her she pushed me away, leaving me to wait for her. In the end I found out that she has been dating another man. Leaving me to wait for her. I did and every time it was the same. Get close and then get betrayed. The only way was to let things go.

    This song has a good and painful meaning to me, cause I finally found a girl who I loved to the core of my soul, I was happy when I was around her and spoke with her, but now a so called friend of my stole her from me, he knew how much I loved her, but still he back stabbed me. And now I'm have lost my reason to be happy again, my hearth has been shattered.

    The main character has been heart broken by someone he deeply cares for. Throughout the song he is coming to realize that he really doesn't mean anything to her, and he is slowly getting over her. He still longs for her affection, but he knows it will never come. He has waited a very long time for her to change, but he knows she wont. He misses there memories. But he now knows that she is no good for him. He is giving up on her. Walking away after many heart breaks.

    What this song means to me is that two of my closest friends betrade me. One of their names were cielo ever since she became friends with her x-bff again she has been acting like. That girl was the only person in the world by the way that girls name was ariana. So ariana wasnt my friend any more because cielo was not. That is what this song means to me.

    It is about a guy who loses the woman he loves, she is his closest friend, his everything. He is haunted by her scent, can still feel her next to him but she betrayed him and when his heart was bleeding (so to speak) for her, she just walked away and left him alone in his grief. He is the waiting one because he wants to believe that she will come back but in reality he knows he didn't mean the same to her that she meant to him. If you have every had your heart shredded by someone you loved and trusted, this song makes alot of sense.

    I definitely relate to this song. I was engaged and was left for her ex that had quite the way of convincing her that he had changed. It is crazy since we never fought and did everything together, she was my best friend so I was betrayed by my closest friend. As she was packing and I was in so much pain she just watched me bleed. As she went to him I knew I was nothing to her then. I can't get over her and I am the waiting one.

    My girlfriend of 5 years starting college and became a party seeker using small fights as her excuse to go out and seek revenge knowing I'd still be there waiting. I know now no matter how beautiful and pretty she was and how nice she was (when she tried) she wasn't worth it. The scars and the tears took time to heal but I'm coming to see it was worth it. I'd rather die alone than be the pet just waiting by the door.

    It is true. I am the waiting one. Seems that I will always be. I shall miss my D. Perhaps another time. Perhaps another life. Because it's all in the dna. I don't know why I can't ever be enough. What should I do? What can I do but wait? Wait and bleed. For I am the waiting one. And I will love dean more than he will ever know, for he is gone. I can't reach him anymore. I am the waiting one.

    Angela knows. My wife waited for me for 2 years while I was in prison. We stayed clean for 10+ years, then I went back to using speed. She is clean, can't be near me because I am an a hole when I do. She asked me to go, so I left the state. It is done until I get clean, and I am her last man. She is bright, beautiful, and way too good for me. She has been hurt many times by me, and waited for me too much already. She may wait this time, but she shouldn't. She is hurt. She is the waiting one. Dean murie.

    My ex boyfriend was my best friend. And he made me wait for him forever and ever. He would tell me one day that he wanted to be with me, but the next day it was different, and so on. All I did was wait for him while he lived his life and watched me suffer. Finally, I moved on with my life and realized I don't need him at all, and all the waiting I did was a lost cause.

    It reminds me of me and my boyfriend. We have been on and off for over 2 years. And I have yet to find anyone else that I've ever loved like I love him. Everything will be completely perfect then the next thing you know he is leaving me. It leaves me in a state of shock and suprise. But he comes back eventually. So I know if he ever leaves he is gonna come back so that leaves me as the waiting one. We are together now and are very happy and I'm still the waiting one wondering if he will leave again. Even though his promises not to still have me curious.

    The meaning is rather obvious but here is my take on it. He is sitting and waiting for her to realize how much he wants her in his life. This apparently hadn't been the first time they parted ways. She has walked away from him before and made it seem as if he meant nothing to her. And each time she leaves him, she knows that he will be sitting there waiting for her to come back.
    Its the definition of an extremely unhealthy relationship. Love should be equal, not one-sided. And I think the song "hold on" was his realization that he cannot continue holding onto her and waiting for her to realize what she had with him.

    This song is very personal to me, I believe its about a bad break up between two people that were friends. The one believed that the other was their best friend and lover and they waited for them for a long time to be together and the one jilted them. Left easily after a bad break up and moved on so fast like the one never existed. Its singing of the angst and pain of disbelief that they could let them go without a second thought. This may have happened before. Now the singer is trying to tell that person, how they cared so much and is hurt. They are trying to move on but have no idea how to do it. This again. Is just my thoughts on the meaning.
