lyrics

i waited for you there
but only for a moment
figured i wouldn’t be
who you wanted to see
when you opened the door

i waited for your call
knowing it wasn’t coming
but i sat there and stared at my phone
and i felt so alone waiting for it

it only makes sense you’d leave me for someone better
it only makes sense you’d leave me for someone great
what a moment of relief
when you find the inner peace
that you’re given
lying in the dark
treasuring the heart of someone great

I’m waiting for a sign
that my love wasn’t wasted
some kind of gratitude
something to let me know i’m not completely gone

before you cross the threshold
take these words of forgiveness
know that i’d never hold it against you
for seeking out what you really want

it only makes sense you’d leave me for someone better
it only makes sense you’d leave me for someone great
what a moment of relief
when you find the inner peace
that you’re given
lying in the dark
treasuring the heart of someone great, someone better
