I walk the line    Leave it all behind    I've been waiting forever    Lets go back in time    When I could read your mind    Still I've been waiting       It took the seasons going by    To know its not my fault       I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest    Tried to be everything that you ever wanted    I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter    Tried to be everything but you       Its been so long    Since you've been home    I used to wait up forever    I used to say a prayer    Wishing you were there    And I'm still waiting       You told me once    You'd show up    But I fell for that    Before I fell to pieces    Then I woke up    To no one,    Just a picture of Jesus    And a house left in pieces          It took the seasons going by    To know its not my fault       I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest    Tried to be everything that you ever wanted    I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter    Tried to be everything but you       I wanted you    I need you    I want to believe you    I wanted you    I need you    I want to believe you      I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest    tried to be everything but you    (Repeat)   I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest    Tried to be everything that you ever wanted    I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter    Tried to be everything but you
