No Love for the Middle Child
Waiting
[Intro: Zero]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Zero]
She told me she don't give a fuck
Don't ever hit her up again 'cause she don't wanna talk
And I completely understand but I don't got enough
Time to waste on her
And I don't think I'll ever find a way to get it back
She don't have to no one to trust
I can tell that she'll be going for another run
Down the path that she was going way 'fore this begun
Let it go, 'cause I know I don't have control up on that ass
Oh no, no, no, no
[Chorus: Zero]
Waiting, won't show your face
But you keep waiting
For shit to change (Yeah, yeah)
You say that I got you then you walk away
So now it's on me to find my place
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
[Verse 2: Zero]
And I'm waiting for something to change about you
At least give me the credit for learning and never doubt you
Never even got a "Thank you"
To keep it completely honest, I could do without you
Shoulda left you right where I found you—but no
You had that something I wanted to help fix
You said you didn't need it but you were so helpless
Then lie up in my face like I don't know any better
Get it together
This was never for us, it was selfish
Tryna be the bigger man, and I can, but I never wanted to
What, do you think I'm stupid? No wonder I never wanted you
Fucking you's never cool when I'm under you; I can't stomach you
I loved the one you were but whoever this is is someone new
[Chorus: Zero]
Waiting, won't show your face
But you keep waiting
For shit to change (Yeah, yeah)
You say that I got you then you walk away
So now it's on me to find my place
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
[Verse 3: Abstract]
When I was younger, all I saw was magic in your eyes
But I grew older, found your space, a place behind the pines
Cold as metal, you had tamed the flame I wish I'd never showed
Guess the man behind the curtain ain't the wizard, I suppose
Game of money-hungry weeds, known to choke out any rose
'Cause the gardener gets to choose what gets to die or gets to grow
Ain't the dream I had in mind, but I know nothing's as it seems
So I keep my grass clear of any weeds (Of any weeds)
See, this industry don't fight fair
Your radio is paid off; your idols don't relate to you
And all these labels made off, the words you think they wrote are just a library they shift through
Tell me, do you feel used?
Leverage your emotions for a brand they wanna sell you
Hand and foot—waitin' on these false gods
I was hand and foot, waitin' on these false gods
Never knew the game I played had dealt me with these false odds
[Chorus: Zero]
Waiting, won't show your face
But you keep waiting
For shit to change (Yeah, yeah)
You say that I got you then you walk away
So now it's on me to find my place
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
