waiting for something I will never get

I don’t know what it is I’m doing

standing here like this, waiting

I shouldn’t be here

waiting for all eternity

for something I can never get

I should run, run away

and never come back

never come back

so I can’t get hurt again

instead, I stand

stand beneath the tree

doubting, waiting

still waiting

for something I can never get

I wish I could

but I’m a hypocrite

just a fraud

trying to be what I cannot be

praying for something

that I can never get

every day

I will be standing here

wanting, waiting

waiting for all eternity

for something I will never get
