I'll Wait

I'll wait...

I'll wait till you finally see

All the things that's been happening to me

You turn a blind eye, and say I'm fine

But now I have nothing that is mine

It started as "just" teasing

And now I'm black and blue bleeding

So what if it's just their words

They cut deep and leave me wishing I could fly away like the birds

I can't take off this mask

'Cause it's the only thing keeping you from the ask

The ask that will break me down

I can't wait to leave this town...

But I was told to wait

So... I'll wait
