EDIT this is now a song, a sweet one at thatA E B7 E
how many nights must I lie awake waiting
A E B7 E
for a sound or a sign of a wandering love
A E B7 E
and how many lights can be dim but not fading
A E B7 E
before love trickles down through the leak up above
D#dim(5714) E D#dim E
How many times did I hear your voice calling
but I turned a deaf ear as I was turnin' my back
But my thoughts are all tied and my hopes are all falling
and someone to catch them is all I lack
How many times can I hear my heart breaking
before i wise up and just never get cut
But with the blood drippin down oh the pictures I am painting
Ill leave it wide open and never to shut
And im watchin you leave but im not too worried
Cause somehow ive always been drawn to you
I know just where to go theres no need to hurry
In the pictures I painted, in the places you drew
And in a lifetime maybe well pass on a streetcar
but a quick glance and avoidance is all I'll see
and we brush for a moment on our way to the exit
and Ill watch you walk away from me

Just thought I would add this, you might not think its fits and I used the love and above thing again. Those are good verses, maybe just a chorus is needed
How many days must I toil and sweat
so I can prove i'm worthy of a conditional love
why is it I keep seeking acceptence I never will get
I fall on my knees in a plea for help from above
