Wait for Me - The Holdup

I’ve always had one foot out the door

I don’t wanna play this game no more

I don’t wanna let you down

I don’t wanna see you drown

I’ve always had one hand on your heart

The other one pulling us apart

I don’t wanna let you go

Why do you wait for me

And let me hurt you

Why can’t I set you free to someone

Who deserves you

Don’t tell me that you’re fine

Don’t say it’s worth it

I might spend my whole life

In search of something perfect

Give me all your love, give me all your time

And I’ll show you how to carefully throw it away for sure

‘Till there’s no more

You’ll never get it back no no no no no no

Please don’t ask me how I say nice things

When I know right now what the future brings

I know damn well that this ain’t my dream

But somehow I still don’t know what it means

Sitting in the car trying to tell you that you’re wrong

Tell you that you’re crazy but you knew it all along

I put that on, I never meant to try and put you on

How did you stay here so long

Why do you wait for me

And let me hurt you

Why can’t I set you free to someone

Who deserves you

Don’t tell me that you’re fine

Don’t say it’s worth it

I might spend my whole life

In search of something perfect

It ain’t crazy that I want you

But it’s crazy that I got you

Even crazier I take for granted everything

I used to worship

Now it’s obvious my dreams are yelling out to me

And I paid a couple shrinks to spell it out for me

There’s no way for this to go without a casualty

I just can’t imagine me ever having apathy for you

Tell me what else I need to know

I got your unconditional

Devoted affection and

I ain’t learned my lesson yet

This is the thick of it, why can’t I just admit

I might be sick of it, girl there’s no trick to this

Never be late again, you’ll never wait again

As long as I’m not your friend, why can’t I just leave you alone

Why do you wait for me

And let me hurt you

Why can’t I set you free to someone

Who deserves you

Don’t tell me that you’re fine

Don’t say it’s worth it

I might spend my whole life

In search of something perfect

Why do you wait for me

And let me hurt you

Why can’t I set you free to someone

Who deserves you

Don’t tell me that you’re fine

Don’t say it’s worth it

I might spend my whole life

In search of something perfect

Why do you wait for me

And let me hurt you

Why can’t I set you free to someone

Who deserves you

Don’t tell me that you’re fine

Don’t say it’s worth it
