[Verse 1]
All my life they've been here
Waiting for you patiently

[Chorus 1]
All they want is your heart and soul
They want your tears to fall
All they want is your purest sin
They want to welcome you in

[Verse 2]
They will seem innocent
But they will lead you back to me

[Chorus 2]
All they need is one tortured soul
They need walking shadows
All they need is your last confession
They need your pain to show me

[Chorus 3]
I'm waiting for the unforgiven
Waiting for sleep to come
I waiting for my one obsession
Waiting for you to come home
Innocence is pain in disguse
They said, now I believe
