[Verse 1]
I can't take it no more
Feels like I've been through the wars
And if you aren't the goal
Then what are you at all?
I'm falling slowly
So slowly, no one can see
That I'm finding it hard to breathe
'Cause you'll be the death of me

[Chorus]
And why do we wait for those who are never there?
Why do we suffer for those who never care?
Why do I wait, why do I wait for you?

[Verse 2]
And I'm down on my knees
Hoping you'll understand
That where I'm going
I can't come back from that
And raising your voice
Well, that won't change a thing now
'Cause I've made my choice
I'm, I'm better off alone

[Chorus]
And why do we wait for those who are never there?
Why do we suffer for those who never care?
Why do I wait, why do I wait for you?
Why do I wait, why do I wait for you?

[Post-Chorus]
And I'm hoping that I'm wrong
And someday, we'll carry on

[Bridge]
Can't escape it
Won't fix it later
Another day to carry on
We can't escape it
We won't fix it later
Just another day

[Chorus]
So why do we wait for those who are never there?
Why do we suffer for those who never care?
Why do I wait, why do I wait for you?
Why do I wait, why do I
Why do I wait, why do I wait for you?
