She awakens with a chill by the open window As the wind breathes it's cold It hurts to know that what he needs Is someone she can never be And it runs from her eyes uncontrolled "Give it time," she thinks And hope still lingers in the air But denial is a fleeting remedy She squeezes skin with painted fingers And the bleeding is a cruel reminder That everything she's suffering is real Chorus: This perfect thing called love Can leave you ripped up broken-hearted Waiting for the sky to fall This perfect thing called love Can make you wish you never started If you knew you would lose it all
He stands alone but satisfied as the dust clears And the scars he wears have only made him stronger For a wasted year he stayed and tried A thousand times to make it right But how could he ignore it any longer "Give it up," he thinks And wishes she could just move on But he can't undo this thing he has done And as she sees him slip away She looks for ways to k** the pain Is this what you get when you love someone? Repeat Chorus What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? Let it go Let it go Repeat Chorus (2x)
