My Life in Your Hands

I keep this picture of you under the bed where I sleep
Count down the hours and the weeks until you’re back on your feet
I’ve waited 18 long years to show you all that I am
It’s time to peel back my heart it’s time to show you my hand
Cause I’ve been waiting forever
I’ve been waiting for you
You said that we should be friends I know you’ll see in the end
That this is more than a game this is my life in your hands
You said that we should be friends I know your sickness within
Tear me apart at the seams this is my life in your hands
We spent the summers alone talked through your problems at home
You spent those nights at my house sneak out each time that they fight
I’d wipe the tears from your face I’d see the pain in your stare
I wish you knew how I felt I wish that I didn’t care
Cause I’ve been waiting forever
I’ve been waiting for you
