Wait Lyrics

It echoes in my empty shell
this hollow room that holds me still and keeps me while I lay here wide awake
the lonesome blues they own you now
and I wish I could but I don't know how
to make it right
and take this pain away
Chorus:
so I'll just wait
so I'll just wait
so I'll just wait till the light comes back to your eyes
Old memories to keep you warm
painted over with your red in scorn and I'll close my eyes for just another day
sadness hangs on our front door
just like it has in years before
and I pray to God it isn't here to stay

Chorus

It tears you up and it breaks you down
your feet upon the cold hard ground and its almost more then you or I can take
no one knows what you've been through
no, no one knows it like you do
and I can't be the one to change your ways
Chorus
