I'm waiting I'm waiting Every story starts the same way First he wants to stay That's all you hear him say But I'm just trying to save me the heartache Stories come to an end As he lets go of her hand That's why I'm holding back There's so much that I don't tell you But I promise you that I want to With my hidden heart safe from breaking Can you help me trust 'cause I'm waiting Tell me you can handle the fire As my flaws burn and seasons turn Tell me you can walk the wire Balancing in the air when everything isn't fair That's why I'm holding back There's so much that I don't tell you But I promise you that I want to With my hidden heart safe from breaking Can you help me trust 'cause I'm waiting To let you in my world And finally say those words That I've been holding back from you There's so much that I don't tell you But I promise you that I want to With my hidden heart safe from breaking Can you help me trust 'cause I'm waiting I'm waiting
