"someone to be there" lyrics

Lay, right where you left
I should have known
I could have guessed

Stay, stuck in the past
Think of your face
Wish you the best

Don't you say a word
I think for what it's worth
Everything I learned
Will stick around
I feel the tears
And choke em down

You told me you've been waiting, waiting
For someone who can take it, take it
Someone who appreciates the care
Who always needed someone to be there

You told me you've been waiting, waiting
For someone who can take it, take it
Someone who appreciates the care
Who always needed someone to be there

You know, I've been alone
Why did you tell me, I have a home
I have a place, somewhere that's safe
Somewhere to go, if I need to stay

How could you tell me
With a straight face
That I could trust you
And what you say
Don't think you know what
That means to me

And if you leave me, I would just break

You told me you've been waiting, waiting
For someone who can take it, take it
Someone who appreciates the care
Who always needed someone to be there

You told me you've been waiting, waiting
For someone who can take it, take it
Someone who appreciates the care
Who always needed someone to be there
