lyrics

I told myself I'd never find my way back here
I fooled myself so well
Thought you might just come around
I slept through winter just to wake
To a colder march than I could take
I calmed this aching heart
But just enough to put me back to sleep

I'm kinda sorry about what I've done
A little sorry for myself
But get this straight
About this chase
I'm tired from it
But not tired of it

So I'm waiting
'Cause time is set there's nothing I can do
Waiting
But nothing ever turns inside of you
Your heart won't speak to me
And I refuse to look, refuse to see
Any signs that say our hearts aren't meant to be

I'm looking for the will I've lost
I'm searching for my life
It's so clear without you here I can't go on
So take a breath, recompose
Dress your wounds and find some hope
'Cause if you can't
You'll forever be...

Waiting
Cause time is set there's nothing I can do
Waiting
But nothing ever turns inside of you
Your heart won't speak to me
And I refuse to look, refuse to see
Any signs that say our hearts aren't meant to be

Do you build me just to break me?
Did you meet me just to haunt me?
Would you see me just to see me
And then stay here just to please me?
And I pray that something I could say
Might change your mind, my dear
I'd kill to see the yellow of your walls
And purple of your floor
I'd gladly drive on aimlessly
For now and forever more
If you'd unmix your signals

I'm waiting
Cause time is set there's nothing I can do
Waiting
But nothing ever turns inside of you
Your heart won't speak to me
And I refuse to look, refuse to see
Any signs that say our hearts aren't meant to be
