today was the day i was gonna make it up
i'd be the best i ever was
and i'd be so understanding
but you had a different plan
i tried really hard to see things i couldn't
but you didn't try
i tried really hard to be understanding
but you didn't
you made me feel like i was floating
just to tear me back down to size
you built me up and broke me back down
you know, some people say it takes years
to come back from that
repetition is a funny thing
the same words you used
over and over
"breakup, breakup, breakup, breakup"
"it's you, it's you, it's you, it's you"
"i love you, i love you, i love you"
i see now
you were not terrified of judgement
you were scared of me
it's hard to understand
you still held my hand as you left
you kissed me still
held me together
like you knew you were breaking me
but you just wanted to try and keep the pieces
together
i ended up unraveling as soon as you were
out of sight
i tried not to cry
but when your entire world is falling apart
it's difficult
i will wait though.
as long as it takes
i will wait like the trees wait for winter
to dispose of their leaves
i will wait like the bees wait for the magnolias
in the spring
i will wait
as long as it takes you
i love you.
