Waiting to Stop Waiting

by Curing the Comon Cliche   Nov 20, 2007


Smiles behind a pitch black vial
lips that speak when no ones there
sitting here
and waiting

she left him cause she thought shes a freak
he loved her cause he thought shes unique
and now shes sitting here
sitting here and waiting

She fell for him on a ship
Ironic... isn't it
because he sailed away and shes still here
shes still here and waiting

Her world is crumbling
before her eyes
She feels like she is paralyzed
cause shes still here and waiting

She builds up walls
to save her from
the demons and the hurt they've done
but she didn't make a door
and the ones she loves
want her more
wondering if shes still here
and what shes waiting for

But shes still here
in the rain
on a cold summer's day
wondering what shes waiting for
because she doesn't know

Shes waiting for the warmth
or softer winds to blow
but as of now
shes waiting to stop waiting
