While I Wait lyrics

I walk in silence down these streets of hope Treading shards of days that never change I see the smiles in victories not mine And wonder when it'll finally be my time I'm tired of fighting and never winning Of smiling when inside I'm breaking Pretending nothing hurts, that all is fine While the emptiness pulls me behind I hide my pain with jokes that fall flat While inside everything screams and shatters They think I'm fine, that I'm okay But they don't feel the weight I carry each day I'm tired of fighting and never winning Of smiling when inside I'm breaking Pretending nothing hurts, that all is fine While the emptiness pulls me behind I barely remember when I last dreamed Life's taken more than what I've redeemed And yet I keep on moving along But sometimes I just wish to stop I'm tired of fighting and never winning Of smiling when inside I'm breaking Pretending nothing hurts, that all is fine While the emptiness pulls me behind Will this waiting ever come to an end? Will my turn finally arrive then? I'm scared to break and no one to see Fade away slowly, lost in the breeze I'm tired of fighting and never winning Of smiling when inside I'm breaking Pretending nothing hurts, that all is fine While the emptiness pulls me behind And others' victories pass me right by While I wait My own never arrives
