Waiting Game

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

You know we played the waiting game
(And we're back where we started)
It's over now, and that's okay

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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)

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
