I walk the line
Leave it all behind
I've been waiting forever
Let's go back in time
When I could read your mind
So, I've been waitin'
It took the season's going by
To know it's not my fault
I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything
That you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
It's been so long
Since you've been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer
Wishing you were there
And I'm still waiting
You told me once
You'd show up
But I fell for that before
I fell to pieces
Then I woke up to no one
Just a picture of Jesus
And a house left in pieces
And it took the season's going by
To know it's not my fault
I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything
That you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
I want you
I need you
I want to
Believe you
I want you
I need you
I want to
Believe you
I tried be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything but you
I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything
That you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything
That you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
