Emmrose - Waitlisted

When my great isn’t good enough
Maybe come back in a few
They take what they can get
Promise you’ll have me too

Another five months feels like five years
They could always let go
Waiting for that callback
Knowing its gonna be no

It’s all crashing down around me
just short of acceptance they said
Cross my heart, there’s a spot I’ll take it
But you wanted them instead

Couldn’t I be wrong
Was Putting my faith in
On a waitlist I’m on the edge with

Gonna take their sweet time determining
To tell me I’m good
But I’m not good for them

No the the odds were never in my favor
Not over but it feels like its failure

What to do until I get that letter
They tell me I’m good
But I’m not good for them

When I said I was all in
Oh I thought they would see
This year on my own and
What It does to me

Take it day by day
They might change their minds
But hope is a fickle thing
When that dream dies

It’s all crashing down around me
just short of acceptance they said
Cross my heart, there’s spot I’ll take it
But you wanted them instead

Couldn’t I be wrong
Putting my faith in
On a waitlist I’m on the edge with

Gonna take their sweet time determining
To tell me I’m good
But I’m not good for them

No the the odds were never in my favor
Not over but it feels like its failure

What to do until I get that letter
They tell me I’m good
But I’m not good for them

You can tear me down
False promises galore
I’m not buying it

What else could I have done
My life was what you judged
But you denied it

Say it one more time
You’re free write your name
Waitlisted

Waitlisted

Couldn’t I be wrong
Putting my faith in
On a waitlist I’m on the edge with

Gonna take their sweet time determining
To tell me I’m good
But I’m not good for them

No the the odds were never in my favor
Not over but it feels like its failure

What to do until I get that letter
They tell me I’m good
But I’m not good for them
