LYRICS: Bebe Black - I'll Wait

Didn't take the day that I was supposed to
Didn't turn up, and I know that I was meant to
I went outside, when I should have stayed in
I couldn't stop eating, you said that I was barely thin

I cut my hair when you said you liked it long
I wrote about sex, and you preferred a love song
You want me to stay, but I want to go home
I'm just a little girl, compared to you who's full grown

And I want to feel the broken shells, I'll let them cut my toes
I'm tired of my oyster card, I'm sick of highs and lows
I want a taste the saltiness, but I'm just too afraid
I wish that I could leave you, but I'll never be that brave

So I'll wait, and I'll wait
For the ink to dry, for you to read the words that say we're through
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
This wasn't about me, the crumble really was with you

Once I stared at the bedroom door for more than two hours
I poured away the water and I threw out the dead flowers
I read the hand typed love letters that weren't addressed to me
You wrote them for a girl you met when I was by the sea

Oh I couldn't brush my teeth today
I didn't wash my hair
I kept all the windows shut so I could breathe my own air
I tore up the old photographs 'cause I don't wanna see
The person I changed into, the one you wanna leave

I'll pack up my old suitcase, and I'll turn off my phone
And I will make my way to Waterloo and buy my ticket home
I know that you would understand there's nothing left to save
I wish that I could leave you, but I'll never be that brave

So I'll wait, and I'll wait
For the ink to dry, for you to read the words that say we're through
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
This wasn't about me, the crumble really was with you
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
For the ink to dry, for you to read the words that say we're through
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
This wasn't about me, the crumble really was with you

So I'll wait, and I'll wait
For the ink to dry, for you to read the words that say we're through
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
This wasn't about me, the crumble really was with you
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
For the ink to dry, for you to read the words that say we're through
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
This wasn't about me, the crumble really was with you

And I'll wait, and I'll wait
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
And I'll wait, and I'll wait
