Verse 1
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
Bridge
It took the seasons go ing by
To know its not my fa ult

I tried to be perfect, tried to be ho nest
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
I tried to be perfect, tried to be ho nest
Tried to be every thing that you ever wanted

Tried to be everyt hing but you

I wanted you
I need you
I want to be lieve you
