The Lady in Waiting

See me run, run
I'm chasing my words through the floor
See me run, run
I’m turning my back to the door
See me run, run to lose you
Can't afford to abuse you
No, not at all

It's so cold and it’s raining
I'm wondering what to say
It's hard to be kind
The lady in waiting
Has made me so aware
I'm running out of time

See me run, run
I'm chasing my words through the floor
See me run, run
I'm turning my back to the door
See me run, run to lose you
Can't afford to abuse you
No, not at all

It's so hard giving answers
When all you’ve ever known
Is to question why
The lady in waiting
Is waiting all alone
And needs a reply

She says her love will last
A thousand years
But will it stand the strain
Of all my fears?
How can she know?

And so she patiently
Awaits a sign
But if I don’t comply
Will I be lost
In this world of mine?

See me run, run
I'm chasing my words through the floor
See me run, run
I’m turning my back to the door
See me run, run to lose you
Can't afford to abuse you
No, not at all
