Rot

I drove for hours
And waited there for you
Hoping I'd see you coming
Looking for me too

I sat there in the sunlight
And through the pouring rain
As my eyes grew heavy
My heart began to drain

I wouldn't leave
Till it would kill me to stay
And I cried the whole ride home
Thinking
There could be no way

You'd leave
You'd leave me
You'd leave me waiting
For someone
Who'd never come around

You'd leave me here to rot

I almost drove
Further to find you
But my gas tank was empty
From driving
All those miles for you

I just wanted to be good enough
Wanted to make you proud
But you always left me wondering
Would you stick around?

Or would you leave
Would you leave me
Would you leave me waiting
For someone
Who'd never come around

And when you told me
Told me its my fault
That it goes both ways
And one hand washes the other
My heart began to rot

I fought for you
I cried for you
And the child in me
Died for you
Because you didn't
Fight for her too

She prayed for you
To a god she didn't know
Because she thought
It could be her only hope

But in the end
You still leave
You still leave

You still leave her
You still leave her
You still leave
Her waiting for someone
Who'd never come around (Around)

And when you told
Told that little girl
That it was all her fault
And one hand won't wash the other

You left her there to rot
