I've had enough
How long's a man supposed to count on luck?
Waiting out a storm that won't let up
How long?
I close my eyes
And I wonder now if God is on my side
Are all my prayers just bouncing off the sky?
How long?
Here I am once again
In the waiting room hoping to hear good news
Hoping to hear good news
Here I am once again
In the waiting room hoping to hear good news
Hoping to hear good news
They're not enough
These empty words that try to cheer me up
I wanna fake a smile, but I'm not that tough, oh
You're all I got
I'm choking back tears and trying not to fall apart
Letting time tick away is the hardest part
It's so hard
Here I am once again
In the waiting room hoping to hear good news
Hoping to hear good news
Here I am once again
In the waiting room hoping to hear good news
Hoping to hear good news
Ooh
I wanna hear your heart beat
I wanna hear your heart beat
I wanna hear your heart beat once again
Oh, I wanna hear your heart beat
I wanna hear your heart beat
I wanna hear your heart beat once again, yeah
Here I am once again
In the waiting room hoping to hear good news
Hoping to hear some good news
Here I am once again
In the waiting room hoping to hear some good news
Hoping to hear good news
I wanna hear your heart beat
I wanna hear your heart beat
Will I ever hear your heart beat again?
I wanna hear your heart beat
I wanna hear your heart beat
Will I ever hear your heart beat again?
I wanna hear your heart beat
I wanna hear your heart
I wanna hear your heart beat
