lyrics

Well it seems that the walls I’ve built shrink around me; trapped with my guilt
in a small room, with a dim light, growing smaller; no place to hide.
So I guess I’ve left myself with a choice, to run, to fight, or to die.
But I’ve been here. And I’ve survived. But I’ve never been this terrified.

So wait for me.
Should I wait for you?
Despite my good judgment, I believe in a happy ending.
Oh, wait for me.
I can’t wait for you. I could only be happy if I could forget you.
So wait for me.
Should I wait for you?
Despite my good judgment, I believe in a happy ending.
Oh, wait for me.
I can’t wait for you. I could only be happy if I could forget you.

It’s for better, though it’s tragic. I’ve seen far worse. It’s not worth it.
I keep having that odd feeling that I’ll wake up, I’ve been dreaming.
I’ve had this feeling before and I’ve woke to a better place where life isn’t so damn absurd.
No matter how many times I try though, pinching myself just won’t work.

So wait for me.
Should I wait for you?
Despite my good judgment, I believe in a happy ending.
Oh, wait for me.
I can’t wait for you. I could only be happy if I could forget you.
So wait for me.
Should I wait for you?
Despite my good judgment, I believe in a happy ending.
Oh, wait for me.
I can’t wait for you. I could only be happy if I could forget you.

No matter how hard I try, to wake and open my eyes,
the past is stubborn fool who refuses to move.
No matter how hard I try, to wake and open my eyes,
the past is stubborn fool who refuses to move.

I know I’ve been here before, and though I survived,
I swear I’ve never been this terrified.

So wait for me.
Should I wait for you?
Despite my good judgment, I believe in a happy ending.
Oh, wait for me.
I can’t wait for you. I could only be happy if I could forget you.
So wait for me.
Should I wait for you?
Despite my good judgment, I’m a fool for a happy ending.
Please wait for me.
I can’t wait for you. I could only be happy if I could forget you.
Could I only forget you.

No matter how hard I try, to wake and open my eyes,
the past is stubborn fool who refuses to move.
No matter how hard I try, to wake and open my eyes,
the past is stubborn fool who refuses to move.

Please wait for me.
The past is stubborn fool.
If I could only forget you.
Please...
Please wait for me.
The past is stubborn fool.
If I could only forget you.
Please...

If I could only forget you.
