I’ll Wait

Didn’t take the test
That I was suppose to
Didn’t turn up when I know that I was meant to
I went outside when I should of stayed in
I couldn't stop eating
You said that I was better thin
I cut my hair when you said you liked it long
I wrote about sex when you preferred a love song
You want me to stay but I want to go home
I’m just a little girl compared to you who's full grown
And I want to feel the broken shells
I'll let them cut my toes
I’m tired of my oyster card, I'm sick of highs and lows
I want to taste the saltiness, but I’m just too afraid
I wish that I could leave you but I'll never be that brave
So I'll wait and I'll wait for the ink to dry for you to read the words that say we're though
And I’ll wait and I’ll wait….that crumbled when I was with you
Once I stared at the bedroom door
For more that two hours
I poured away the water and I threw out the dead flowers
I've read the hand typed love letters
That weren't addressed to me
You wrote them for a girl you met when I was by the sea
Oh I couldn't brush my teeth today
I didn't wash my hair
I kept all the windows shut so I could breath my own air
I tore up the old photographs, because I don't want to see
The person that I changed into
The one you want to leave
Oh I'll pack up my old suitcase
And I'll turn off my phone
And I'll make my way to Waterloo to buy my ticket home
I know that you won’t understand there's nothing left to save
I wish that I could leave you but I never be that brave
So I wait and I wait for the ink to dry for you to read the words that say we're through
And I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I'll wait …that crumbled when I was with you
And I'll wait, oh I'll wait for the ink to dry for you to read the words that say we're through
And I'll wait, wait …that crumbled when I was with you
And I wait and I wait for the ink to dry for you to read the words that say we're through
And I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I'll wait …that crumbled when I was with you
And I'll wait, oh I'll wait for the ink to dry, for you to read the words that say we're through
And I'll wait, I'll wait …that crumbled when I was with you
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
And I'll wait, wait
