Waiting

Went through Hell trying to make it to Heaven on my own
But I hurt myself enough to learn, if I play with fire I get burned
I walked away from all that I wanted just to prove
That I can make it on my own, but now I know I'm all alone

What am I waiting for
He's standing at the door
So why don't I reach out and let Him in
I've seen it all before
But I'm still wanting more
So why am I just standing here, waiting

I know what lies outside of the light well enough
But I wish that I could say that I had experienced the other side
Perfect smiles on perfect people, doing what they should
Always seemed so fake to me, it's just not my reality oh

What am I waiting for
He's standing at the door
So why don't I reach out and let Him in
I've seen it all before
But I'm still wanting more
So why am I just standing here waiting

I'm sick of the games and lies
It's time I gave up my pride, oh
I won't be lonely inside anymore
'Cause I've decided to open up the door

What was I waiting for
He was standing at the door
So why would I not just let Him in
He gave me so much more
Than what I had before
Now that I found him there, waiting

I can't believe He (What was I waiting for)
Would stand before me (He was standing at the door)
It was all that I needed oh (So why would I not just let Him in)
I didn't want to see (He gave me so much more)
That I held the key (Than what I had before)
But now I'll be here waiting (Now that I found Him there, waiting)
