Waiting

I’m waiting here for a word
Closing my door to the world
I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting for you to decide

I cannot do this much more
Lie on my back on the floor
Counting spots on the ceiling, waiting for you to decide

Tell me why
Tell me no
Just tell me that you don’t love me
I promise I’ll go

Tell me why
Tell me no
I don’t care what you tell me just as long as you tell me you know
I promise I’ll go

Closing the lids of my eyes
Resting my head on goodbyes
I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting for you to decide

I’m holding my tongue and my breath
Choking my heart to the death
My head has been reeling, waiting for you to decide

Just tell me something, something like anything
I’m waiting right here, yes, I’m waiting and wondering
How long does it take you to think o’er the same old thing
I stare at your picture and wait for the phone to ring

Tell me why
Tell me no
Just tell me that you don’t love me
I promise I’ll go

Tell me why
Tell me no
I don’t care what you tell me just as long as you tell me you know
I promise I’ll go

I promise I’ll go
