Tell me what we're doing here anyway

It seems like for too long we've been playing these games

When I reach out to touch you my hand starts to shake

'cause it hurts to be this close but still so far away

It's like I'm in the shadow of his mistakes

But I've got a lifetime waiting for your heart to melt

'cause baby can't you see it's me that you're damaging

I'm hoping in my heart, now I'm risking everything

So baby don't you leave me waiting in the wings

I know he hurt you but baby he ain't me

And I hope someday you'll find faith in me

I'm so desperate to touch you I'd do anything

Can't accept that my chances are slowly vanishing

As the lights go on and I take the stand

I gotta find the words to say

But I've got a lifetime waiting for your heart to melt

'cause baby can't you see it's me that you're damaging

I'm hoping in my heart, now I'm risking everything

So baby don't you leave me waiting in the wings

But I've got a lifetime waiting for your heart to melt

'cause baby can't you see it's me that you're damaging

I'm hoping in my heart, now I'm risking everything

So baby don't you leave me waiting in the wings

Ohhhh! ohhhh!

I'm hoping in my heart, now I'm risking everything

So baby don't you leave me waiting in the wings
