Waiting in the Wings
"I'll always be here for you," he said
"I'll be waiting in the wings.
Waiting for my chance to shine
And show you brand new things.
While you're out there playing Juliet
On the world's bright shining set
When he's done being Romeo
I'll be waiting in the wings."
"You're the only one I ever see
When I'm waiting in the wings.
No one catches my eye but you
No other queens nor kings.
Even when I close my eyes
My pounding heart, it still denies
That I'm immune to your voice
As I'm waiting in the wings."
"Don't pretend that you can't see me
As I stand here, waiting in the wings.
I watch your life play out,
Winters, falls, summers, springs.
I make myself control the pain
To you I am forever chained.
Forced to watch you love him,
I'm still waiting in the wings."
"Remember that day, years ago,
Before this waiting in the wings?
When I promised to always love you,
No catches and no strings?
I'm sick of watching you adore this monster,
Sick of watching punishment so austere,
I can hardly stand for shaking,
Yet I'm waiting in the wings.
"I'll always be here for you," he said.
"I'll be waiting in the wings.
I'll stand here through this horrid talk
Of weddings, , love, and rings.
I swore to you before I scarred
And here I am, forever barred
I haven't broken my vow
I'm still waiting in the wings."
