Candles
I've been waiting too long, I've been waiting too long
I've been singing your song, am I singing it wrong
I've been waiting too long, I'm afraid to move on
If only I could learn to let you go
You could say I've been far away as I stay in place at home
Leaves will fall on the lawn on an autumn day
Next time I awake, summer's gone
I've been sitting here with sleepless eyes
On the deep end side of a fucked up mind
Chasing things that could have been
The candles gon' burn I can't wish it away
All of my dreams they be slipping away
Sit in my room and I miss you each day
All of my friends they think I'm okay
This ain't okay, I'm not okay
I see the blue of the sky but only in gray
I wish I could look in your eyes
Or pray that the lord would just take me away
You didn't deserve this
I wish I could say that I did it on purpose
The truth of the matter is if you were alive my life would have purpose
Instead I feel worthless
Feeling empty as hell without all the worst shit
A shell of myself, you sit on my shelf
A picture of how life could be perfect
I've been waiting too long, I've been waiting too long
I've been singing your song, am I singing it wrong
I've been waiting too long, I'm afraid to move on
If only I could learn to let you go
I've been waiting too long, I've been waiting too long
I've been singing your song, I've been singing it wrong
I've been waiting too long, I'm afraid to move on
If only I could let me let you go
I've been singing your song, am I singing it wrong
I've been waiting too long, I'm afraid to move on
If only I could learn to let you go
You could say I've been far away as I stay in place at home
Leaves will fall on the lawn on an autumn day
Next time I awake, summer's gone
I've been sitting here with sleepless eyes
On the deep end side of a fucked up mind
Chasing things that could have been
The candles gon' burn I can't wish it away
All of my dreams they be slipping away
Sit in my room and I miss you each day
All of my friends they think I'm okay
This ain't okay, I'm not okay
I see the blue of the sky but only in gray
I wish I could look in your eyes
Or pray that the lord would just take me away
You didn't deserve this
I wish I could say that I did it on purpose
The truth of the matter is if you were alive my life would have purpose
Instead I feel worthless
Feeling empty as hell without all the worst shit
A shell of myself, you sit on my shelf
A picture of how life could be perfect
I've been waiting too long, I've been waiting too long
I've been singing your song, am I singing it wrong
I've been waiting too long, I'm afraid to move on
If only I could learn to let you go
I've been waiting too long, I've been waiting too long
I've been singing your song, I've been singing it wrong
I've been waiting too long, I'm afraid to move on
If only I could let me let you go
