Waiting On You To Come Through

I'm sick of waiting on you to come through for me,
I'm tired of trying to be who everyone wants me to be,
I can't close my eyes without taking a deep breath,
I can't keep contemplating life and death,
I can't keep wondering what it is I've done wrong,
What I've done to deserve pain this strong,

I can't look into your eyes and ponder your face,
Without feeling the ache of disgrace,
I wonder what it is we've become,
Withered and lonely, selfish and numb,
I won't pull you up again,
I won't go back to how things were then,

Cause I'm sick of waiting on you to come through for me,
I'm tired of trying to be who everyone wants me to be,
I can't close my eyes without taking a deep breath,
I can't keep contemplating life and death,
I can't keep wondering what it is I've done wrong,
What I've done to deserve pain this strong,

Maybe I'll never get a chance to tell,
You exactly what I've wanted to yell,
You took advantage of me, and I,
Never understood long enough to cry,
Maybe you'll never know that you,
Made it all true,
Never stopped me when you wanted to,

And I'm sick of waiting on you to come through for me,
I'm tired of trying to be who everyone wants me to be,
I can't close my eyes without taking a deep breath,
I can't keep contemplating life and death,
I can't keep wondering what it is I've done wrong,
What I've done to deserve pain this strong,

You said you cared and you even shared,
And what you said scared every part of me,
Cause at the heart of me, I could start to see,
That this was going to be, this was bound to be,
Something complicated that was always fated,
To be one of a kind,
A love long lost in the shadows of the blind,

I'm done waiting on you to come through for me,
I've never been what you wanted me to be,
I'll always take a deep breath when I close my eyes,
As every part of me gives in and sighs,
I'll always wonder what I've done wrong,
And I'll always carry the pain that made me strong.

** This didn't turn out exactly as planned, but for now it's good enough**
