Analysis of Waiting on love



As I sit here and wait for you,
All these promises but you never pull through.
I believed you when you told me you love me,
But from the outside looking in that's not what I see.
Overtime it slowly gets worse,
What did I do so wrong to deserve this curse.
I'd give anything in this world to see the old you for this one day,
For then just then maybe you'd stay.
