Waiting For A Love

Seven years spent now
Revisiting what went down
Has kept you so close
I can't escape, no
I can't make excuses either
For not letting you slip away

Maybe, just maybe I'm figuring me out
Why I've held on so long
I thought so long was out of hope it'd work out
But, I know now
I've held on so long
Waiting for a love to surpass that which I felt for you

I gave it my best shot
Then blamed myself for it not working out
But, I can't continue down that path
Chasing what I never had
Wasting chances I have left
By not letting you slip away

So, here I go now down the line
As you slip out of my heart and life
It's finally time
To cut truth from lie, and start
To see light without darkness
To be free and weightless again

Maybe, just maybe I'm realizing why it's taken me so long to figure out
That though faith, and hope, and love remain
Love will always outpace the longing heart
And, chase away the daunting darkness
And, the haunting harness of unrequited love
When a love that surpasses that which I felt for you finally finds me
