Of Waiting

What did I expect,
When time and again I'm left waiting.
What do I even want,
When I know that it's hopeless and I know I should just give up.

Yet time and again I find myself at this crossroad,
And time and again I choose you.
Yet u never seem to choose me,
And once again I'm left waiting.

Well I guess I knew,
From the very first day.
Well I guess I should stop,
From all of this pointless heartache that I just can't seem to fake away.

What am I waiting for,
An invitation that's never coming
Or a door that is never going to open.
What am hoping for,
A confession that gets accepted
Or a smile that gets reflected.

Yet time and again I know I should say goodbye,
No matter how much you say you need me,
I need you more.
And that is more than my heart can take,
So I must say goodbye,
Because you're never going to feel the same way.

But now in a month
You'll be gone and I'll be here,
Still waiting.
Still hoping.
And I have to say goodbye.
Come on! Just do it
It'll be quick,
Like a pin prick.

But I can't get myself to say these words,
When you suddenly say some sweet words.
I'm young, I know.
I'm tired though.

I wanna stop.
I wanna give up.
But I'm so far from doing so.
I wanna say goodbye,
But I don't know how to
And that my dear friend is what I want to say to you,
And now you know it too.
