Ive been waiting for a lifetime

For a smile like yours

Ive been waiting to feel something

something simple, nothing more

Ive been waiting for a year now

to find something that I want

And thought it feels like a lifetime

Ive known you all alone

My eyes have been open

Wandering the streets

Always looking never seeing

what is right in front of me

For a long time Ive been hollow

like a bell that makes no sound

A conversation more than shallow

Lift my feet right off the ground

Ive been wondering just when

I might give myself a chance

To feel something, just anything

another warm hand

Ive been sleeping away my days

Not wondering why it was

That everytime I awoke

Being here is just not enough

Ive grown tired of searching

for all the right things to say

Ive got tired of wondering

How my life got this way

Lately Ive come to notice

That I dont feel so alone

And the nights are growing quiet

I finally feel home

Ive begun to laugh

feel the smile on my face

Just feeling like myself

may be enough for me to stay
