I’ll Wait

On I’ll Wait

Thumbnail

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
