All the times I waited for you
Put my plans on hold for yours
All the sacrifices I made for you
Isn't it time to make one of yours?

But you can't even glance behind you
And wait for me
Too busy chasing your own dreams
After all the times you've fallen
And I've carried you on my shoulders
You can't even stop to help me when I'm broken

All the times we stayed out under the stars
I spent all my wishes on you
I always wanted the best for you
I thought your wishes were unselfish, too

But you can't even glance behind you
And wait for me
Too busy chasing your own dreams
After all the times you've been down
And I've tried my best to lift you up
You don't even see my tears

All the times I've felt your pain
Just like it was my own
But you didn't know
You never knew
You were too preoccupied with you

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
