i've longed for you for so long
but you went on with someone you hated
but i will wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
like a dog waiting for you to come home

i will wait

like stars that twinkle in the velvet sky, your love illuminates my soul, i'll never die.
a bond so deep, a love so true,
a treasure found, a dream come true.

each day that passes through
another piece of truth goes loose
i'm who i want to be
but it's never easy to be so free

your wounding actions was a whole book to me
and that hurts me
i fell in love with the wrong person
and that hurts me
i stayed with someone who wasn't good for me, but i was too blinded by love to try and leave
and that hurts me.

you can go back to the past
but no one will be waiting for you there
what's done is done
and you have to live with that

i knew you'd leave me one day soon,
so i made the most of every afternoon
i held on tight to moments we shared, trying to cherish, to show i cared

all my stress
my shortness of breath
there's not one day i don't think about you
you are my flu

a soft breeze rustles through the trees,
a gentle whisper, a comforting ease.
in nature's embrace, a soul finds peace,
a quiet solace, a sweet release

take me wherever you want,
and talk however you feel.
ask for whatever you need,
i'll always stay here

scream and curse, i don't care
cry out all of your tears
because silence is killing my hope
you are something i've wanted for years

show me the most damaged parts of your soul
i will show you how it still shines like gold

for someone who doesn't want to lose me you act like you don't want to keep me
you left me for someone else
i think that tells me enough

each second felt like a precious gift, knowing you'd be gone, my heart would shift
i loved you deeper with every sigh
aware that time was passing by

i was just the tag on your shoe
and i liked being that
i was just the germs in your flu
and i liked being that
i was just the chip on your tooth
and i liked being that
i was just the me to your you
and i liked being that

you said we were destined by fate
but why get together so late?
wouldn't we break?
or will it be something great we'll take?

it's the start of september
the promises we've made
but clearly you never wanted to keep them, it breaks
why should i go through this vain?
now my soul is in the arms of someone else when it rains
