Everyday a shade of blue
You won't believe
What I'm going through
It just feels like I can't afford to let myself go
No oh no

Everyone is just the same
They touch me
But I can't say

There has been no one brighter than you
I can't deny these things that I do
Feels like the world's at stake 'cause
I have been waiting
I have been waiting for you

Heavenly that's what you are
You're burning me like a shining star
How am I supposed to be that king without you
Oh it's true yeah

Everyone is just the same
They love me
But I can't say

There has been no one brighter than you
I can't deny these things that I do
Feels like the world's at stake yeah
I have been waiting
I have been waiting for you

Yeah, yeah
There has been no one brighter than you
I can't deny these things that I do
Feels like the world's at stake 'cause
I have been waiting
I have been waiting for you

I have seen no light brighter than you
And I can't deny these things that I do
Feels like the world's at stake yeah
I have been waiting
I have been waiting for you, yeah for you

Everyday I sit down and I feel like I'm waiting
For you
I've been waiting for you
For you
I have been waiting
I have been waiting for you
