Waiting Game

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Trying to leave the city, but the city won't leave me alone There's a piece in me that wants to call you home With a little bit of courage, I can see myself turning around Keep my head in the clouds and my feet upon the ground [Chorus] You know we played the waiting game (And we're back where we started) It's over now, and that's okay [Verse 2] When you said that you were leaving Well, I guess you weren't fooling around There's a part of me that knew we were breaking down If I want to find the truth, I can't lie to myself anymore I'm a soldier lost at sea, and you're the storm [Pre-Chorus] I thought that we were good and we were having fun Hoped you understood We were happy just messing around So why pretend When you said that there was something we should talk about it Opened up my eyes and the stars came crashing down Around my head Around my head [Chorus] You know we played the waiting game (And we're back where we started) It's over now, and that's okay (We're back where we started) You know we played the waiting game (We're back where we started) It's over now, and that's okay [Verse 3] Picking up the pieces and wiping my blood off the floor I tell myself I can't do this anymore Holding it together when somebody keeps pulling the strings It's a bit like trying to fly with broken wings [Pre-Chorus] I thought that we were good and we were having fun Thought you understood That I was hanging 'round messing around With my best friend Hoping that the truth wouldn't devastate Both of us, we knew things would never change Holding onto you became a heart attack Now I know the future never looks, never looks [Chorus] You know we played the waiting game (And we're back where we started) It's over now, and that's okay (We're back where we started) You know we played the waiting game (We're back where we started) It's over now, and that's okay (We're back where we started) [Chorus] You know we played the waiting game (And we're back where we started) It's over now, and that's okay (We're back where we started) We made the same mistake again (We're back where we started) So why pretend that we're still friends (We're back where we started) [Outro] Ooh, ooh, ooh And we're back where we started Ooh, ooh, ooh We're back where we started We're back where we started
