you said its just not right
no, not right this time
said to wait for you
when you’re ready
we’ll be together, alright
and i waited around for you
two years i spent on you
every day i dreamt of the day
that i’ll be next to you
and you throw that anchor, and i sink
to keep you next to me
i played the part
kept your secret in the dark
and you hold my hand
and i can’t breathe
thinking that you want me
but you keep me
(chorus)
in the shadows
i waited for you
in the shadows
i gave my love to you
in the shadows
you took me for a fool
in the shadows
in the shadows
you like to play those games
and I’m stupid to play
pick up the phone when you call
i can’t seem to say no at all
you want me when its right
then push me to the side
when another suitor arises
you claim the single life
you know my weakness and you take
advantage just to make
me option B
keep me waiting, devoting
you say my name just like you care
but your feelings are never clear
I’m stuck in clouded smoke
waiting
(chorus)
(bridge)
i hope you know we’re done
i come second to none
you put me last on your list
when i’d hope to be number one
i hope you hear this song
and know that you were wrong
remember every lie you told
and every string-a-long
and i jumped through hoops and fire for you
and you just couldn’t do
the one thing i needed you to (no)
ill leave my mark there on your heart
for keeping me in the dark
and leaving me
