Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sing me a song, you could be
Tell me a tale, just like me
Don't turn it my way, happy and free
I'll turn it to shit, happy and free
Oh
[Verse 2]
All that I do is wait for you
All that I do is wait for you
[Verse 3]
I can't get along with all your friends
Don't know how to act, that's all there is
Why do I accept the things you say?
You know what to change, but not in what way
[Verse 4]
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
[Verse 5]
I am not you, we could have
I'm almost through, great success
It's about time, I'm such a success
That you came through at no expense
Oh
[Verse 6]
All that I do is wait for you
All that I do is wait for you
[Verse 7]
I can't get away from all your friends
I'm not coming back, that's all there is
Why do I accept the things you say?
You know what to change, but not in what way
[Verse 8]
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
