Waiting

It's amazing how the thought of you
Can make me laugh or cry
Two emotions so far apart
Just like you and I

Things that made me happy
Bringing a smile to my face
Like the way you looked at me
As if the rest of the world had been erased

I remember how you made me feel
Days when I couldn't stop smiling
You filled my life with happiness
Now I can't stop crying

Thinking back on how things were
Only makes it worse
I think of all the happy times
I can't even explain how much it hurts

It's strange how thoughts of happiness
Bring only tears to my eyes
Remembering the way it felt
I miss you more each time

I want to feel that way again
The way I felt with you
But like you said, we're over now
Never again, we're through

I hear those words over and over
They repeat in my mind
Every time cutting deeper
Into this heart that is no longer mine

Where did he go
The man I once knew
He never made me cry
This isn't you

Because he cared about me
And he held me close
He would kiss my lips
He never wanted to let go

I never thought it'd be this way
That you would leave my side
I never thought you'd turn your back
It never crossed my mind

When I was with you
I thought it was forever
That you and I would always be
Never apart, but together

Now I am alone
You're not here by my side
I think of when you were
I'm breaking down inside

I hold close the memories
Although they make me cry
Maybe someday I'll move on
Then I can think of them and smile

I will always be here
For as long as I'm alive
That's a promise I'll keep to you
I hope you'll change your mind

I'll be right here waiting
For you to figure out
What it is I already know
That what we had was love.
