Bated Breath

With bated breath And bended knee I pray in earnest She comes back to me Without a word Without a fight I let her slip away into the night Oh well I'm strong But I'm not that strong I pray the world loosens it's grip on me Oh, and time tells When all else has failed I'll be waiting here with bated breath With heavy heart Upon my sleeve Wear my emotions for the world to see With each breath in Won't let it out Afraid it'd be the least of her around Oh we both said what we had to say Just as all lovers would do Oh, and time tells When all else has failed I'll still be waiting here with bated breath And oh for now All that remains Is frozen and framed And now love's an illusion There are no guarantees For me With bated breath All hope aside I leave to chance the chance love Comes back to life Oh well I'm strong But I'm not that strong I pray the world loosens it's grip on me Oh and time tells When all else has failed I'll be waiting here with bated breath I'll still be waiting here with bated breath
