Ever Waiting

Listening to the yelling echoes
Never fading, and to never cease
I wish for someone who would grip my hand
Someone strong enough to hold me down

You know...
I've wished for someone, all my life
To have someone who will hold me tight
To be my anchor, in this coming night

Quash the tiny flame that still burns hope
I've tried so hard,
My very best.
But for some strange reason, it's tied me tight
With a relentless rope

I tell myself, that I'll never believe
There could be someone out there
Who's meant, for me
Yet when I find myself
Still stumbling within the bowels of despair

If I'm still here...
That means for some reason,
I'm still holding on?

I've done what I swore I'd never do
Lying to myself for an age in my head
I'd tried so hard to just live and stay true

So why am I still holding on?
Maybe...

Maybe,
I really am...
Holding on because I'm
Waiting, for you.
