I walk the l ine

Leave it all be hind

I've been wait ing forever

Lets go back in t ime

When I could read your m ind

Still I've been wai ting

It took the seasons go ing by

To know its not my fa ult

Tried to be ever ything that you ever wanted

I tried to be stronger, tried to be sma rter

Tried to be ever ything but you

Verse 2

Its been so l ong

Since you've been ho me

I used to w ait up forever

I used to say a prayer

Wishing you were th ere

And I'm still w aiting

You told me o nce

You'd show up

But I fe ll for that

Before I fell to pieces

Then I woke up

To no one,

Just a pic ture of Jesus

And a ho use left in pieces

Bridge

It took the seasons g oing by

To know its not my fa ult

Chorus
