[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
