I am the waiting one it seems
Days grow somber quickly
Now how the quiet is released
And I feel so lonely

How did you think I would feel
Throw me aside again
How did you think I would feel

Won't let you hurt me again now
I'm nothing to you, I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn up but I can't believe
You sat and watched me bleed

She knows the waiting one in me
That I needed to hold me
Still I can smell her hear her breath
Feeling invited inside me

How long I've waited,
Waited for you
To come back to hold me,
What should I, what should I,
What should I do
When I feel so lonely

How could you do this to me
Betrayed by my closest friend
How could you do this to me

Won't let you hurt me again now
I'm nothing to you, I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn up but I can't believe
You sat and watched me bleed

What should I,
What should I do
Well how long I have waited
What can I,
What can I do
When I feel so lonely

How did you think I would feel
Threw me aside again
How did you think I would feel

Won't let you hurt me again now
I'm nothing to you, I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn up but I can't believe
You sat and watched me bleed

How could you do this to me
Betrayed by my closest friend
How could you do this to me
Won't let you hurt me again

I am the waiting one it seems
