Lyrics

[VERSE]
HOW CAN I GET CLOSE TO YOU, WHEN I KEEP ON FADING INTO BLACK
HOW CAN I SAY A THING ABOUT YOU, WHEN I KEEP ON TAKING YOU BACK
MAYBE I?M JUST TRYING TO HOLD ON, TO SOMETHING THAT WASN?T THERE FROM THE START
OR MAYBE I?M JUST TRYING TO BE COOL, WHEN I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM TO YOU

[CHORUS]
I?M A LADY IN WAITING, I CAN BARELY BREATHE
WHEN YOU COME INTO ME
I?M A LADY IN WAITING, I CAN HARDLY MOVE
YET I?M CLOSER TO YOU SOMEHOW

[VERSE]
OH, THIS IS SAD. THIS IS SO SAD, YOU?RE MAKIN? ME FEEL GOOD, I FORGOT YOUR SO BAD
NOW, IT?S ALL COMIN? BACK TO ME. ALL THOSE SIMPLE WORDS THAT SET ME FREE
I?M A CHILD WHEN I?M WITH YOU

[BRIDGE]
I?M JUST SILENT AND GOOD, I?M JUST WHAT YOU NEED
TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOU, AND BAD ABOUT ME
JUST TRYIN? TO FIND SOME LOVE, AND SOME FATE
BUT THE YEARS HAVE PASSED AND I?M TIRED OF THE WAIT

(REPEAT CHORUS)
