What do you see in flashes of light
When you open your eyes and the world is too bright?
Creatures from fantasy, or failures and flattering memories
Altered, to paint you the heroine?
Through the looking glass, keep an eye on your past
And keep moving forwards without turning back
But truth is distorted through mirrors and glasses
And I'm in your blind spot, awaiting a glance
Since that night of soap opera romance
I can't share a single bed with anybody else
And I wonder if you think about just giving me a call
And saying, "Hey remember me? Remember anything it all?"
'Cause I try
To live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
And you're silent and too far away
Tell me why
I'm sitting here waiting for you
I've been sitting so long
I've forgotten the reason you gave
When you walked away
Take a minute to open your eyes
Now the bright lights have faded and stars fill the sky
Look past the mirror, it's clouding your judgement
A constant obstruction that hides the horizon
You're much better off looking back once in a while
Than fixing your thoughts on the future
'Cause every mistake is a lesson worth learning
So I'll be your teacher if you take me back
All the prayers and the hope cannot save me
I'm holding on tight, but you're letting me go
And I'm trying to remember when you told me what love means
And that sometimes it's applicable to what you feel for me
Still I try
To live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
And you're silent and too far away
Tell me why
I'm sitting here waiting for you
I've been sitting so long
I've forgotten the reason you gave
When you walked away
When you walked away
Still I try
To live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
And you just don't give a fuck either way
Don't know why
I'm still sitting here waiting for you
I've been waiting too long
I just wish you'd turn 'round so you'd see
I'm walking away
