You're lingering beside me like a dream
I try to be pretty on the outside
I try to make you stay
I count down to a time
When I hope you'll say, "I'm ready"
I lust after our one night together
And feel dirty after the fantasy is over
I'm standing still in this life
I'm the fool who loves you
Have you ever waited for someone to take you?
The bells and whistles say, "I give up"
Everything you do; everything you are
Is beautiful to me
It all takes my breath away
I don't understand the confusion that binds you
To give myself to you everyday
Without a word in return
Leaves me hallow and on fire
Never knowing the next day
Turns me inside out
I promised to wait
I don't know if that was a lie
