and i waited years for somebody to love me
scoop up all the pieces, tell me there's still a working heart, just a busted pipe or two, what a little tlc will do
and I waited, years for someone to love me
and i waited, years for somebody to hold me
i waited years to be picked up from my knees and placed right back on my feet
just a little help to balance all the weight
but, I waited too long now I'm all fed up with lies, now I'm drowned up in their sea
in their folly, you'll find my tears
streaming a river that never sleeps
I waited too long to believe in anything good left in this world
I barely believe all the news on the blurred lines,
can't trust the weather.
It's a bold sign, simple but simples better
got too much time, taking up all my time, so all my time is pressed for seconds
on my mind pressed for pressure
currently, no time for recaptioning all the remixed joys turned into rainy tragedy
so sludged you can't recognize your print left behind
smudge it better, but much smudge can't prove it holier
I waited for years for someone to adore me, never sour me, never pour on me, acid fire and blood stains
filled with all your love? please , give me a break
I waited for years to be safe, with someone, to be saved, by someone that I could trust
but I think my heart is okay
I think my heart beats alright
I think I love the way it beats when I'm down
I love its path, though it's rough
I like it's edge though it's thorned
I think my heart will be, will beat, one beat
