I stand there waiting
Tuning out what he's saying And I say to you, "I wish you were real" The yelling and screaming His threats have no meaning As I walk up the stairs to check in my room I'm hoping to find you Behind my old door I know you are waiting But I don't know what for Why not show yourselves Before my tired eyes So I know you are with me So I know you're not lies The old couple sits By a fireplace that's lit With a fire that will eventually burn out But if you were to show me I've no reason to be lonely I know we'd have our own fire forever I'm hoping to find you Behind my old door I know you are waiting But I don't know what for Why not show yourselves Before my tired eyes So I know you are with me So I know you're not lies I made you in my mind But it's reality that binds You into my soul, my heart, and tears Reality can haunt Whatever it wants But it should have nothing to do with us I'm standing in the road Not a car in sight The pouring rain completes This dark, stormy night Cornfields surround me Wilderness on both sides With my knife in my hand I know you won't hide I need you right now This one very last time Of course you won't This night is mine I can feel you behind me Once more, I turn around I finally see your faces As I fall to the ground "No more," I cry But you take my hand As the blood pours out In streaming wet strands I'm pulled to my feet You look in my eyes The last thing I know I know you're not lies I'm hoping to find you Behind my old door I know you are waiting But I don't know what for Why not show yourselves Before my tired eyes So I know you won't leave me So I know you're not lies |
