Black Coffee

I don't wanna say
I'm gonna end up alone
I've never had an anchor to hold onto
Another burnt out stray
With so little follow-through
You better make a choice before it's done for you

They delayed the game but now it's far too late
Am I really self-aware or saving face?

Waiting
For the day they set me free
But if you're in love
I'll stay and never leave
Patient
But afraid of everything
It's not healthy but
To thoughts of you I cling
The love I never lost
The smell of black coffee

So far nothing has gone
According to my plans
I'm spending all my time trying to understand
Just why
I've got so much to say
Penny for thoughts on my own dime
I've spent a bit too long living in my own mind

I'm so eager but I'll wait another day
Am I really self-aware or saving face?

Waiting
For the day they set me free
But if you're in love
I'll stay and never leave
Patient
But afraid of everything
It's not healthy but
To thoughts of you I cling
The love I never lost
The smell of black coffee

Now I don't know
What you're going through
But I wish we could talk
Do you think of me?
Darling, let me know
Until then I will be

Waiting
For the day they set me free
Cause I'm down and out
And lying through my teeth
Patient
But afraid of everything
So I'll run away
And hope it heals the sting
Of love I never lost
The smell of black coffee
