I Waited Lyrics

I Waited lyrics

She asked before she turned away 

 "Is there anything you need to say" 

 "I love you" might have worked 

 But I never said a single word 

 She never even made the front gate 

 Before I knew I was too late 

  

 Chorus: 

 I waited 'till she was far enough away 

 And then I cried 

 I waited till I had all she could take 

 I don't know why 

 I wanted to say "I love you" 

 At the perfect time 

 And like a fool 

 I waited till she said goodbye 

  

 All the lines weren't quite right 

 The cha nces that I let slip by 

 All the times that I held out 

 Are reasons she's not here right now 

 All she really needed was to know 

 All I had to do was let it show 

  

 Repeat chorus
