The Waiting One Lyrics
I am the waiting one it seems
I am the waiting one it seems
Days grow somber quickly
Now how the quiet is release
And I feel so lonely
How did you think I would feel
Throw me aside again
How did you think I would feel
I won't let you hurt me again
Now I'm nothing to you I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn apart I can't believe
You'd stand and watch me bleed
She was the one thing I believed
That I needed to hold me
Still I can smell her hear her breathe
Feel her body beside me
How long I've waited,
Waited for you
To come back to hold me
What should I, what should I,
What should I do
When I feel so lonely
How could you do this to me
Betrayed by my closest friend
How could you do this to me
I won't let you hurt me again
Now I'm nothing to you I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn apart I can't believe
You'd stand and watch me bleed
What should I,
What should I do
Oh how long I have waited
What can I,
What can I do
When I feel so lonely
How did you think I would feel
You throw me aside again
How did you think I would feel
I won't let you hurt me again
Now I'm nothing to you I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn apart I can't believe
You'd stand and watch me bleed
How could you do this to me
Betrayed by my closest friend
How could you do this to me
I won't let you hurt me again
I am the waiting one it seems
Days grow somber quickly
Now how the quiet is release
And I feel so lonely
Throw me aside again
How did you think I would feel
Now I'm nothing to you I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn apart I can't believe
You'd stand and watch me bleed
That I needed to hold me
Still I can smell her hear her breathe
Feel her body beside me
Waited for you
To come back to hold me
What should I, what should I,
What should I do
When I feel so lonely
Betrayed by my closest friend
How could you do this to me
Now I'm nothing to you I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn apart I can't believe
You'd stand and watch me bleed
What should I do
Oh how long I have waited
What can I,
What can I do
When I feel so lonely
You throw me aside again
How did you think I would feel
Now I'm nothing to you I can see
Just walk away from me
I'm torn apart I can't believe
You'd stand and watch me bleed
Betrayed by my closest friend
How could you do this to me
I won't let you hurt me again

I think this song is very apparent on its meaning, a very lonely person that doesn't feel like he has anywhere to turn. He feels as though he's waited patiently for things to change, and tried to make change, but nothing works. And the pain he feels isn't noticed, and no one cares. And its come to the point, where he wont let anyone in because he doesn't want to be hurt again. Set into confusion on how to solve the riddle of reality.
Since my primary language is not english, I don't understand what this song is all about... But from what I understand I think this song is about a guys who has been betrayed by his girlfriend with his bestfriend.
A man waiting on things to turn better in his life, always plagued by his past, not knowing what to do or where to turn. It also brings up a failed relationship or strained relationship that plagues him and breaks his trust of people. He feels the world can't help him. Knowing that feeling kind of made me love this song.
From what I gather about this song, it is about the aftermath of an off and on relationship from the side that is broken up with continuously. It is also about no longer being "the waiting one" of said relationship (the one that waits for their former partner to come back and ultimately use them until they find another lover, get bored, etc.)
"How did you think I would feel Throw me aside again How did you think I would feel I won't let you hurt me again"
This verse speaks to the above statement as do many of the lines.
I've been through this. It's basically about a guy who's been betrayed by his girlfriend twice and she was his closest friend. His everything, if you will. And he's waiting for her to change but he knows he will only get hurt again
This song is amazing and I believe self explanatory. No matter how much you care and miss her it will not change that she doesn't care about you. countless times you are the one left waiting and hurt. I know exactly how it goes and I just had it happen again to me. I wish this wasn't one of their softest songs. I truly wish it was one of their hardest. I fully understand the hurt behind how he does it but behind the pain is pure anger. ATR can do it all from the vocals down low to the top. soft instrumental to all out tear your face off! and have to give it up for the AMAZING drummer.
I hope you have a Happy Easter. You started out the holiday with Your Body Is A Wonderland so you already must have a smile on your face. I hope you and your girlfriend enjoy a beautiful day together. No, I really don't, but I'm trying to do better.
