I WON'T BE THERE WAITING LIKE BEFORE
Sitting by the window, you seem to be miles away
I ask you what it is that's wrong but you don't hear the words I say
What I need to tell you will not come out so easily-
But the things I say will be harder for you than they are for me
"I'm tired of lying, it's all taking and no giving. I just can't live like this anymore-
I know when your lying, my eyes hurt from crying, why can't you love me like you did before"?
Earlier in the night before you came to bed, thoughts of you swarm in my head-
I wait for an answer, a soft word, a reply...
Instead you reach for the light, and never say Goodnight
I lay there awake still wondering why
You act as if you don't want me there- or is it that you just don't care. Is there someone else on your mind?
It's easier for you to lie, when the truth is hard to find.
I know there is someone else, and that makes it harder to say goodbye
But when you find those words to say- the reason why it happened this way, be man enough to look me in the eye
I'm already prepared,but what has me scared
Are the words I'm gonna say back to you
The hurt I'll feel as I know it 's real and there's nothing I can do
I'll remind you how you had it so good, how I loved you like no one else could, I was there for you through thick and thin
It was me right there by your side, that's where I've always been
But now she has helped to take your heart, while she had yours, mine was falling apart
I'll let you go that easily, if that's the way you want it to be
Atleast I can show that I still have some class, with a smile on my face and my bags in my arms, you can kiss my ass.
One more thing i have to say before I walk out the door....
If she ever decides to make you leave....
I won't be there waiting like before
