Always Waiting by Jon Henry from Baltimore United States

Verse 1:
Well darling I know, all of your disappointments,
My only gift was ever grief, I never gave any warnings.
And all your great expectations, I let them fall to the sea,
I filled my lungs while I was drowning, oh how I wish I'd fade away.

Chorus 1:
Won't you forget me dear, let me slip far from heaven
I'll keep the wait to myself.
If I could chain my fears I'd drag them to the bottom
Till neither I nor they exist.

Verse 2:
This heart I do tell, my darkest secrets are crippling,
You once were the calm, now from this storm I am breaking
My veins fill with salt and this blood pours out demons
From your captivating arms, I've never felt so lost in freedom.

Chorus 2:
Won't you forgive me dear, let me slip into Hades
I'll hold this weight to my chest.
If I can't break my fears I'll lose myself in sorrow,
Until I find my faith in death.

Bridge:
And time, I've been told it'll heal
But some wounds, cut to deep to feel, anymore, anymore.

Chorus 3:
I won't forget you my dear, my hell will not allow it,
I'll hold this weight by myself
If I could break these doubt's, I'd leave them at the alter,
Instead of dragging my soul down.
