Leave it all behind
I've been waiting forever
Lets go back in time
When I could read your mind
Still I've been waiting
It took the seasons going by
To know it's not my fault
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
It's been so long
Since you've been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer
Wishing you were there
And I'm still waiting
You told me once
You'd show up
But I fell for that
Before I fell to pieces
Then I woke up
To no one,
Just a picture of Jesus
And a house left in pieces
It took the seasons going by
To know it's not my fault
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
I want you
I need you
I want to believe you
I want you
I need you
I want to believe you
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything but you
(Repeat)
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
I walk the line Leave it all behind I've been waiting forever Lets go back in time When I could read your mind Still I've been waiting It took the seasons going by To know it's not my fault I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest Tried to be everything that you ever wanted I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter Tried to be everything but you It's been so long Since you've been home I used to wait up forever I used to say a prayer Wishing you were there And I'm still waiting You told me once You'd show up But I fell for that Before I fell to pieces Then I woke up To no one, Just a picture of Jesus And a house left in pieces It took the seasons going by To know it's not my fault I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest Tried to be everything that you ever wanted I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter Tried to be everything but you I want you I need you I want to believe you I want you I need you I want to believe you I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest Tried to be everything but you (Repeat) I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest Tried to be everything that you ever wanted I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter Tried to be everything but you Explain Request ×
