Waited For You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Said it once and I know I can say it again,
You are the best thing that ever came into my life,
So why do I always have to contend,
You found yourself standing guard over slow suicide,
Did you really think that i'm just a compromise,
No i waited for you, I waited for you,
Did you think I stumbled into you in the dark with those guys?,
No I waited for you, I waited for you,
I know you can see what I can see,
If you just had my eyes and know,
I know I could be what I wanted to be
If I just believed you and know,
I know this is just another bad leak,
We got hills to climb,hills to climb, hills to climb,
Said it once and I know I will say it again,
You have a gift as bright as that sun,through a shine,
To stand in the shadows that you cast only offence,
Can't walk this explicit life like you were blind,
Did you really think that i'm just a compromise
No I waited for you, I waited for you
Did you think I stumbled into you in the dark with those guys?
No I waited for you, I waited for you
Just another lucky temp man and you were my prize
No waited for you, I waited for you
I was just a cold night wait for the sun to rise
Yes I waited for you, I waited for you
I know you can see what I can see
If you just look at my eyes and know
I know I could be what i wanted to be
If I just belevied you and know
I know this is just another bad leak
We got hills to climb,hills to climb(repeat 7 times),
Oh what do we want to be
Just what we want is to see
But were blind, but were blind
Open to tregedy,oh for stability
Such a crime, such a crime
