I seen lonely teardrops rest in your eyes,
I been longing to slip my skin and start over tonight,
And I wait for you my love,
And these I cannot stand,
You know I hate this company,
As I get the nerve to stare,
My sentiment comes over me,
And I wait for you my love,
Was someone taking your heart?
Was someone taking your brains?
I've been here times before just like you did,
Bitter years from the youth we waste,
And we run out of time,
See I worry all the time,
And I wait for you my love,
I got another confession to make,
You see I caught the shakes,
Struggling for a breath with the blood on my tongue,
Like a nervous man waiting to wait,
And I sing for you my love,
And all this youth that you waste,
It keeps you wanting more,
No it wasn't what you dreamed,
But it haunts your troubled soul,
And I wait for you my love,
Was someone taking your heart?
Was someone taking your brains?
I've been here times before just like you did,
Bitter years from the youth we waste,
And we run out of time,
See I worry all the time,
And I wait for you my love,
I seen a picture of my daddy on his wedding day,
I didn't recognize my ma with that smile on her face,
And I come home late when they're all asleep,
As I stumble through these walls,
Sympathy don't show your face tonight,
I got a picture of your smile that puts a bruise on my mind,
As I get the nerve to stare looking hard
But I've only got the nerve to stare
With the blood on my tongue
