Waiting Room
Love's Last Stand: A Heart in the Waiting Room
Lyrics
I've been prayin, prayin for good news
I've been praying for good news
Over re runs on tv and a time magazine from 2002
Engaging in mundane activities, distracted by old TV shows and outdated magazines
You've been sayin, that you're gonna pull through
Assurance that the person will overcome challenges
Like you told me a million times but you never do
Expressing doubt due to repeated unfulfilled promises
I've been out of tears for like three hours
Emotionally drained, unable to cry anymore
So go ahead and send me my favorite flowers
Requesting a symbolic gesture, like receiving favorite flowers
They ain't gonna change my mind, not this time
Recognition that gestures won't change the situation
Cuz it feels like our love is dying
Sensing a deterioration in the relationship
And I'm just in the waiting room
Feeling stuck in a state of uncertainty and anticipation
I've tried and tried and tried, there's nothing more that I could do
Acknowledging efforts to no avail
There's nothing I can do
Helplessness, realizing there's nothing more to be done
Now it's your turn to prove that you love me
Challenging the partner to demonstrate love actively
Put up a fight I can't be the only one
Calling for mutual effort in the relationship
If someone's gonna save us now it's you
Hope for salvation, with the partner being the key
I'm just in the waiting room
Reiterating the feeling of being in a waiting state
How did you expect me to sleep
Questioning how to find peace amid turmoil
Usin my words like a weapon against me
Feeling attacked by words used as weapons
Like, you even hear me when I speak
Expressing frustration at not being heard
But you don't hear me when I speak
Highlighting a lack of understanding despite communication
And the old you would never call me crazy
Noting a change in behavior from the past
The old you could make up his mind
Contrasting the partner's decisiveness in the past
The new you, well he just lets me cry
Observing emotional support turning into tears
Cuz I've been out of tears for like three hours
Continuing emotional exhaustion
So go ahead and send me my favorite flowers
Repeating the request for symbolic flowers
Cuz they ain't gonna change my mind, not this time
Reaffirming that gestures won't change the situation
Cuz it feels like our love is dying
Reiterating the sense of a dying love
I'm just in the waiting room
Stating being in a waiting state emotionally
Cuz I've tried and tried and tried, and there's nothing more that I could do
Acknowledging futile efforts in the relationship
There's nothing I can do
Reiterating the sense of helplessness
Now's your turn to prove that you love me
Challenging the partner to actively demonstrate love
If someone's gonna save us now it's you
Highlighting the partner's role in saving the relationship
I've been in the waiting room
Repeating the feeling of being in a waiting state
And the old you would never call me crazy
Recalling the partner's past behavior
The old you could make up his mind
Contrasting the partner's past decisiveness
The new you, is running out of time
Noting a sense of urgency in the current behavior
I've been in the waiting room
Repeating the feeling of being in a waiting state emotionally
Cuz I've tried and tried and tried, and there's nothing more that I could do
Reiterating the acknowledgment of futile efforts
There's nothing I can do
Reiterating the sense of helplessness
Now's your turn to prove that you love me
Challenging the partner to actively demonstrate love
Put up a fight I can't be the only one
Calling for mutual effort in the relationship
The only one that's black and blue
Feeling alone in suffering and emotional distress
I've been in the waiting room
Reiterating the feeling of being in a waiting state emotionally
