Playing your waiting game Lyrics

I see your outline lingering in my dreams

Tracing sketches of the life we could've been

You hold me close but not too tight

I'm just the fallback when the timing's not right

You whisper promises that never come through

I'm reaching for a truth that's burning me blue

You've got a picture but I'm not in the frame

Still I'm standing here playing your waiting game

You keep me hanging on a thread so thin

A halfway heart that I'm living in

you couldn't give me the truth though I gave you my all Your dreams are with him and I'm feeling the fallI see the ending but I can't walk awayHow do you let go when you want them to stay?

I've pictured a future with you in my arms

But I'm just your shelter when life gets too hard

You hold the door open but never let me inside

A love like this feels more like a lie

I'm the quiet storm you only turn to in need

But you're planting seeds in someone else's dreams

I'm stuck in the middle of holding on

And knowing deep down I've already gone

You keep me hanging on a thread so thin

A halfway heart that I'm living in

you couldn't give me the truth though I gave you my all Your dreams are with him and I'm feeling the fallI see the ending but I can't walk awayHow do you let go when you want them to stay?

Every time I try to close the door

You say just enough to keep me wanting moreCaught in the hope you might change your mind But love isn't real when it's one-sided blind

I see the ending and this time I'll stay

Letting you go is my first step away
