Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What if I told you I love you?

What if I told you I'm scared?

I know I can't be mad at you

For all the times you aren't there

There

[PreChorus]

I can't say

Only feel it when I'm alone

On my way

Is the only way that I want

All these games

I can't relay my race to the front

I can't be slowing down my pace, it ain't fair

[Chorus]

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you

Can't wait for you to choose

When you're in the mood

When you want me too

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you

[Verse 2]

I'll hesitate, double text you

Both times you left me on read

I know this **** ain't ignoring me

Yeah

Ain't like the day that I met you

I think I like him instead

Yeah, I really like him better

'Stead

[PreChorus]

What has changed?

I don't even know you anymore

Oh, just say

Don't tell me this is not what you want

Killing me

Oh, you can't even see that I'm gone

I can't be slowing down my pace, it ain't fair

[Chorus]

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you

No, can't wait for you to choose

When you're in the mood

When you want me too

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you

No

[Bridge]

You ain't gonna love me till you see that door in your face

Oh, and my keys to your place

Till I stop loving you this way

No

You ain't gonna want me until I don't want you no more

Till I don't love you no more

Till I don't wait anymore

[Chorus]

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you, I can't wait for you

Can't wait for you to choose

When you're in the mood

When you want me too

I can't wait for you

I can't wait for you
