Tearjerker
Fenix TX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Picture's on the wall just waiting there to fall
Still remind me that painful holiday can almost hear you say
Please don't miss me too long
What did I do wrong

Could've sung a different song you were my tune
Make my heart believe a want is not a need
And I'm all right without you
The days go by the nights don't change

The stars still spell out your name
I will wait for you
The world has let me down
Is it you're just not around

I've lost my reason all the memories
Every smile you gave to me you can keep them
The days go by the nights don't change
The stars still spell out your name

I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you




I will wait for days go by
And still I will wait for you
