Waiting In Vain
I hit the ground running
My heart is broken in two
I can't see the wood from the trees
The only feeling I have is blue
I am treading water and drowning
Trapped forever in a human zoo
My eyes are open but I am blind
To the reality that I know is true
I'm waiting in vain
Feeling the pain
I'm waiting in vain
It's driving me insane
I'm waiting in vain
Hoping to see you again
I'm waiting in vain
I'm waiting in vain
Life marches relentlessly on
The planet keeps spinning away
I have an empty space inside
Grief has arrived what can I say
You left me behind to walk alone
I miss you every single day
The road is long and hard
Salvation is what I need better pray
What I need is a new beginning
Resurrection from pain and sorrow
A new landscape to light my way
Live for today not tomorrow
Look to the future with hope
Hold my head high with pride
Treasure the memories with joy
Smile and remember you by my side
I'm waiting in vain
Feeling the pain
I'm waiting in vain
It's driving me insane
I'm waiting in vain
Hoping to see you again
I'm waiting in vain
I'm waiting in vain
