I'll Wait

I'll Wait

Didn’t take the test,
that I was suppose to.
Didn’t turn up when I know that I was meant to.
I went outside when I should of stayed in.
I couldn't stop eating,
you said that I was better thin.
I cut my hair when you said you liked it long.
I wrote about sex when you preferred a love song.
You want me to stay but I want to go home.
I’m just a little girl compared to you who's full grown.

And I want to feel the broken shells,
I'll let them cut my toes.
I’m tired of my oyster card, I'm sick of highs and lows.
I want to taste the saltiness, but I’m just too afraid.
I wish that I could leave you but I'll never be that brave.

So I'll wait and I'll wait for the ink to dry for you to read the words that say we're though.
And I’ll wait and I’ll wait….that crumbled when I was with you.

Once I stared at the bedroom door,
for more that two hours.
I poured away the water and I threw out the dead flowers.
I've read the hand typed love letters,
that weren't addressed to me.
You wrote them for a girl you met when I was by the sea
oh I couldn't brush my teeth today,
I didn't wash my hair.
I kept all the windows shut so I could breath my own air.
I tore up the old photographs, because I don't want to see
The person that I changed into,
the one you want to leave.

Oh I'll pack up my old suitcase,
and I'll turn off my phone.
And I'll make my way to Waterloo to buy my ticket home.
I know that you won’t understand there's nothing left to save.
I wish that I could leave you but I never be that brave.

So I wait and I wait for the ink to dry for you to read the words that say we're through.
And I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I'll wait …that crumbled when I was with you.
And I'll wait, oh I'll wait for the ink to dry for you to read the words that say we're through.
And I'll wait, wait …that crumbled when I was with you.

And I wait and I wait for the ink to dry for you to read the words that say we're through.
And I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I'll wait …that crumbled when I was with you.
And I'll wait, oh I'll wait for the ink to dry, for you to read the words that say we're through.
And I'll wait, I'll wait …that crumbled when I was with you.

And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
