I walk the line Leave it all behind I've been waiting forever Let's go back in time When I could read your mind So I've been waiting It took a season's going by To know it's not my fault I tried to be perfect Tried to be honest Tried to be everything that you ever wanted I tried to be stronger Tried to be smarter Tried to be everything but you It's been so long Since you've been home I used to wait up forever Used to say a prayer Wishing you were there And I'm still waiting You told me once You'd show up But I fell for that before I fell to pieces Then I woke up to no one Just a picture of Jesus And a house left in pieces And it took a season's going by To know it's not my fault I tried to be perfect Tried to be honest Tried to be everything that you ever wanted I tried to be stronger Tried to be smarter Tried to be everything but you I want you I need you I want to believe you I want you I need you I want to believe you I tried to be perfect Tried to be honest Tried to be everything but you I tried to be perfect Tried to be honest Tried to be everything that you ever wanted I tried to be stronger Tried to be smarter Tried to be everything but you I tried to be perfect Tried to be honest Tried to be everything that you ever wanted I tried to be stronger Tried to be smarter Tried to be everything but you
