I wait for him on the inside.
He’s no desire to change my life.
And that’s good, ‘cause if he had that in mind,
he’d have failed long ago, by this time.
I clear the glass with my outstretched hand,
wipe away the breath that was meant for the man.
And I wait until my feelings numb.
When they’ve bled to death, he’ll come.
With a coffee cup I warm his hands
and act as though my day just began,
but all the doubt swelling in my head
would not be there, if he’d arrived when he said.
Then he leaves and says ‘see you around’,
he says he don’t make plans don’t wanna tie us down.
Then he calls and says, ‘I’ll come see you tonight’,
I’m busy, but I really wish he’d change my life.
I stay at home at the weekends,
writing songs and waiting for him.
And I wait until my feelings numb,
When they’ve bled to death, he’ll come.
This one’s about an ex-boyfriend who taught me a lot.
After a while, he really did arrive too late, so I split up with him. It was one of the hardest things I’d ever done as he looked, walked and talked like the man of my dreams.
Breaking up with him gave me the biggest boost of self-esteem because I knew he was using me and, although it hurt me a lot, I had to have some self-respect.

This is beautiful, i really think
that was very brave of you to do
what you did in this situation
many people can't do this because
they don't think they are strong enough
I enjoyed reading this one
Thanks for sharing it
