I walk the line, leave it all behind
I've been waiting forever
Let's go back in time when I could read your mind
Still I've been waiting

It took the seasons going by
To know it's not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

It's been so long since you've been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer, wishing you were there
I'm still waiting

You told me once you'd show up
But I fell for that before, I fell to pieces
Then I woke up to no one
Just a picture of Jesus and a house left in pieces

It took the seasons going by
To know it's not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

I want you, I need you
I want to believe you
