Waited for You

Verse 1

You were always halfway out the door

Never stayed to hear the second part

I kept my sentences behind my teeth

Hoping you would ask me what I mean

Pre-Chorus

But you were busy

I was quiet

You were certain

I was hiding

Chorus

You never gave me time to show you

Who I am when no one's watching me

You never gave me time to prove it

I was more than what you let me be

Oh I waited

Oh I waited

Post-Chorus

(Ooh)

Waited for you

(Ooh)

Waited for you

Verse 2

I practiced speeches in the bathroom mirror

Every word I never got to say

You wrote my whole story in a glance

Never let me turn another page

Pre-Chorus

But you were busy

I was quiet

You were certain

I was hiding

Chorus

You never gave me time to show you

Who I am when no one's watching me

You never gave me time to prove it

I was more than what you let me be

Oh I waited

Oh I waited

Post-Chorus

(Ooh)

Waited for you

(Ooh)

Waited for you

Bridge

So I'll show myself instead

So I'll show myself instead

To the mirror

To the morning

To the stranger in my head

Chorus

You never gave me time to show you

Who I am when no one's watching me

You never gave me time to prove it

I was more than what you let me be

Oh I waited

Oh I waited

Post-Chorus

(Ooh)

Waited for you

(Ooh)

Waited for you
