Waiting Around

You and I met at a friend's party
You pretended not to know me
So ridiculous, shoulda seen it then
Now I'm wondering why you left
I could see signs, but couldn't heed a warning
You were upset every other morning
Like a sharp knife, had me dancing on the edge
Now I'm wondering why you left

I guess it's not the first time
You acted up just to get love
But I could see the pain
I recognized it in myself

You give me the same old line
A version of "I didn't do enough"
And now I'm just waiting around

And when you'd wall up, I would try to break it
Keep reaching out saying, "Baby we could make it"
And then you'd come around and I'd put it all to rest
Now I'm wondering why you left

I guess it's not the first time
You acted up just to get love
But I could see the pain
I recognized it in myself

You're giving me the same old line
A version of "I didn't do enough"
And now I'm just waiting around

I remember your smell, I remember how you taste
And the way that you'd write, the advice that you gave
"If it's gonna work out, you can bend but just don't break"
I remember you said
And all I'd have to do was wait, wait

I guess it's not the first time
That you gave up when things got tough
But baby I don't blame you, I've done the same myself
But just give me the last line
It's a version of unconditional love

Baby I'll be waiting around
