I Waited

I'm not sure what you want from me,
You can't act like you didn't see,
I watched you walk away from me
But I waited.  
Thought that you would change your mind. 
That it was impossible for you to be that blind
Didn't think you could leave me behind. 
So I waited. 
You said leaving her would be too rough 
And I wanted so badly to call your bluff
And maybe it would be enough 
That I waited. 
But I don't know how long I was supposed to spend
Nursing a broken heart you wouldn't mend
I could feel us coming to an end
Still I waited
Too see if you would pull me through
You knew my heart was black and blue
But pretended you didn't have a clue
That I waited
And now you can't believe it's true
I fell for someone who isn't you
Never thought I'd find someone new
Because I waited
So excuse me if I ignore you begging please
You look so silly on your knees
We used to talk with so much ease
That's why I waited 
And though you think my new loves fake
That's just a chance I have to take
And now you feel my heartache
Cause now you're waiting
