I'll Be Waiting

I know you left me behind,
so you could go on living,
because I would have just held you down,
in this lonely broken town

I don't blame you,
but when you finally get on top,
sing a simple song for me,
so I know you still care

I'll be waiting in this town,
all of our memories still hanging around,
to keep me sane while you're gone,
making your dreams come true

I remember when we kissed,
under the moonlight that one night,
so many summers ago,
when we were so young…

You'd come to my side,
on those rainy nights,
and sing me something sweet,
to put me to sleep during the storm

Now I sit all alone,
in this once warm room,
as the rain drowns out,
these cold tears…

I know you left me behind,
so your hopes and dreams,
could have a chance of making it,
in this lonely world

I don't blame you,
for wanting something more,
than what I could give,
so go and be free in this world

I'll be waiting in this town,
with all of our memories,
keeping me warm,
on those cold nights

I remember when we,
sat under the willow tree,
and you sang to me,
something just for us

You'd come to my side,
on those very lonely nights,
when the wind would keep me awake,
until you sang me to sleep

Now I sit all alone,
in this once warm room,
as the rain drowns out,
these cold tears…

In the end,
I wanted more than you could,
ever possibly give to me,
in this broken town…
