[Verse 1]

Your room was square, I once noticed from there

In your bed, as you slept and I held my breath

Everything had its own place

And I wondered what space would I take

In the order you kept


[Verse 2]

I tried to eat like your girlfriend

Just tea, in the night, I'd end up too hungry to sleep

So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside

I would find, it's for you won't be mine


[Chorus]

I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned

God's very simple, and love shouldn't burn

And I would've offered you all that you yearned for

But I was still waiting for something to earn


[Verse 3]

What is that quiet of snow in the night?

The dark rings with white noise as you stand and drown

Maybe it's all of these snowflakes, screaming a choir of mute

As they brace for the ground


[Bridge]

Well, that's my ride, hope you had a good night

You know, you made me happy

Here, shake my hand

You make such a good man

Never once did you know me


[Chorus]

I tried my hardest, for how do you learn?

God's very simple, and love doesn't burn

And maybe you'd offered me all that I yearned for

But I was still waiting for something to earn


[Outro]

Silly me, waiting
