Hold You While You Wait

Yeah, you've got eyes, fixed on your game
I know the pain, when they don't wanna play
You light your smile, but it don't reach your face
Still waitin' on someone who ain't lookin' your way

He's out chasin' dreams, you just chase his name
You pour out your love, and he drinks it like rain
But baby, I see how he leaves you so dry
You're lovin' a ghost, while I'm breathin' nearby

I'll hold you while you wait
Yeah, I'll carry the ache
You can cry in my arms
Even if it's not my place
Let him be your star
While I fade in the shade
But I'll still hold you
Hold you while you wait

You say you're fine, but your voice starts to shake
Wearin' that hurt like a pretty heartbreak
Girl, you deserve more than the silence he gives
I'm right here beggin' for just one 'maybe' to live

I know I'm the shoulder, not the flame
The safe little secret you don't dare name
But even if I ain't the man in your mind
I'll still be the one by your side every time

I'll hold you while you wait
Yeah, I'll carry the ache
You can cry in my arms
Even if it's not my place
Let him be your star
While I fade in the shade
But I'll still hold you
Hold you while you wait

So when the night grows too heavy to fake
When hope turns cold and your hands start to shake
Don't need to say nothin', just lean into me, babe
I'll hold you
Yeah, I'll hold you while you wait
