Waiting

She's waiting for a word, waiting for a sign,

That she is worth something, worth somebody's time,

And she'll keep waiting, waiting.

She'll put on any mask, she'll play any role,

Just to be needed, she'll even sell her soul,

And she'll keep waiting, waiting.

Where can she turn, where can she go?

Desperate for love, for someone to hold,

But she'll keep waiting, waiting.

No one sees it, no one knows,

That she's just a shell, nobody's home.
And she'll keep waiting, waiting.

She's changed so many times, she's lost her sense of self,

Convinced if someone sees her, she will get it back,

But she's forever waiting, waiting...
