I'll Wait

~

All of those lies you found it easy to tell
don't you know I could see through them all?
You thought that I was completely under your spell
but I know you didn't care as you were watching me fall.

I'll wait 'cause I know that's the only way
so I'll stay for however long it takes
Until all the magic fades away
and when it crumbles down I'll watch the butterflies fly away.

If this is the smile that I've got to fake
every day for the rest of my life
Amidst all the harsh words you can't help but stay
as I cry myself to sleep every night.

I'll wait 'cause I know that's the only way
so I'll stay for however long it takes
Until all the magic fades away
and when it crumbles down I'll watch the butterflies fly away.

Oh, I wish I could fly away
away from the promises you'd always meant to break
Out of your arms, away from the pain
away from your heart and into somewhere I'm safe.

I'll wait 'cause I know that's the only way
so I'll stay for however long it takes
Until all the magic fades away
and when it crumbles down I'll watch the butterflies fly away.

And only when I'm out of your arms
Will I truly be safe..
