Sittin' Here Waitin'

Intro

(Yeah...)

Sittin' in the dark... waitin'...

Verse

Boots up on the porch swing, starin' at the gravel road,

Bottle half gone, but it don't ease the load.

Nights stretch like miles on this empty highway,

Dreamin' of her arms, but they all fade away.

Heart's a rusty truck, sputterin' on fumes,

Chasin' tail lights, crashin' into rooms.

Friends say hold out, but the silence screams loud,

Loneliness chewin' me up like a storm cloud.

Pre-chorus

One more empty promise, one more slammed door,

I'm hangin' by a thread, can't take much more.

Chorus

Sittin' here waitin' for love to find me,

But I'm scared I'll grab the first one that blinds me.

Why You made me, Lord, if this world's so mean,

Facin' all this pain, no hand to hold, just me?

Sittin' here waitin' for love to find me,

Scared I'll grab the first one that blinds me.

Why You made me, if I'm ridin' solo,

Through this wicked life, breakin' slow?

Verse

Mama prayed for sunshine, but it's rain every damn day,

Prayers hit the ceilin', bounce right back my way.

Seen too many good ones turn to ghosts in the wind,

Left with nothin' but scars and a grin wearin' thin.

Table for one at the diner down the line,

Watchin' couples laugh while I'm losin' my mind.

Devil's got a grip, pullin' me under deep,

Fightin' for a reason, but it's slippin' from my keep.

Pre-chorus

One more false dawn, one more shattered glass,

I'm down on my knees, prayin' this don't last.

Chorus

Sittin' here waitin' for love to find me,

But I'm scared I'll grab the first one that blinds me.

Why You made me, Lord, if this world's so mean,

Facin' all this pain, no hand to hold, just me?

Sittin' here waitin' for love to find me,

Scared I'll grab the first one that blinds me.

Why You made me, if I'm ridin' solo,

Through this wicked life, breakin' slow?

Bridge

Lord, if You hear me, throw me a lifeline, please,

This empty chest is killin' me by degrees.

Ain't askin' for gold, just a beat next to mine,

Someone to weather the storm, through the hurt and the grind.

(Yeah...) Why me? Why now? Why alone?

Chorus

Sittin' here waitin' for love to find me,

Scared I'll grab the first one that blinds me.

Why You made me, Lord, if this world's so mean,

Facin' all this pain, no hand to hold, just me?

Sittin' here waitin'... waitin' for love...

(Waitin'...) Scared I'll grab... first one...

Why You made me... ridin' solo...

Through this wicked life... breakin' slow...

Outro

(Yeah...) Sittin' here... waitin'...

(Waitin'...) Alone...
