Wasted Delight

Oh, I’ve been patient, standing here alone

Waiting for the moment to come back home

But shadows cast on what we used to be

Still I hold on, hoping you’ll see me

My life’s been simple, peaceful, free

But you branded your name deep inside of me

Fought the battles, chose to stay true

Yet excuses keep us miles from you

Money, my love, time slipping away

Promises broken, words led astray

I had the funds, I crossed the line

But you turned away, said you don’t want me

What a wasted delight, dreaming of you still

Caught in the silence, against my will

You just want me when you’re feeling low

Lift you up, then you let me go

Why does love feel like a game?

Holding on through all the pain

I give my all, I give my heart

But it’s never enough, I fall apart

So I’ll keep waiting, I’ll keep holding on

To the hope that someday before too long

You’ll see the truth, and you’ll come back to me

Till then I’m lost in this fantasy
