I'll Be Waiting
MandoPony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a place I belong
Where I'm never wrong
But I think it's a long way
From here...
In my heart, I know I'll find
A way to leave my troubles behind
I'll be special some day.
If I can find a way...
To be needed by my friends.
Maybe they'll need me
Some day...
All My friends say
"Good job, We know you did your best. But it's best if we go it alone from here."
So I'll sit and wait for the day
When they ask, when they say:
"We need your help Derpy!"
And I'll be there in a hurry...
But I'm waiting to be needed.
I'll be waiting right...
Here.




I'll be waiting alone...
I'll be waiting right here.

Still one of the most powerful and heartbreaking songs this fandom has produced.

ded.

and yet the artist's original upload is hidden away from the world with shame, and the audience must be punished for liking something that the artist no longer cares for or wants them to see

I so connect to this song

I'm always left alone (mostly because i have no friends) but the point is that even though I am meant to be used to it, every so often i cry about it

Remember that there's people who love and care about you. I gave my gift of love to the world, no matter who you are or who you want to be, you have my love and respect. Even if you get on my last nerves.

Don’t worry, you have yourself, your family, three is enough, you don’t have to be so popular about it, don’t cry, many people don’t have friends either because of a disorder, cancer, or something that is wrong with them.....people are also abused, and dead, shouldn’t you be lucky you weren’t them? There dead spirit may be crying just like you.....((I’m sorry, but don’t read this like I’m trying to offend you, read this in a soft tone...please, cause in your opinion this may be harsh))
