Wait For You
Kyla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now, I'm missing you and I'm wishing
You would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?

You could have let me know, so, now I'm all alone
Boy, you could have stayed but you wouldn't give me a chance
With you not around it's a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin' down my face
Why did you turn away?

So, why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie, what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So, baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I find, it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me?)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away?
(When)
Everything stays the same
I just can't do it, baby

What will it take to make you come back?
Boy, I told you what it is and it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me?
You're still in love with me
Don't leave me crying

Baby, why can't we just start all over again?
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you're telling me it won't be enough

So, baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I find, it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you

So, why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie, what you're keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be

Baby, I will wait for you
Baby, I will wait for you
If it's the last thing I do

Baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I find, it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do




I'll wait for you
I'll be waiting

Overall Meaning

The song "Wait for You" by Kyla is a heart-wrenching track about longing for someone who has already left. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and sadness as the singer realizes that their love interest has gone away without any explanation. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song as the singer expresses how they have never felt this way before and how they are missing the person who left them. The chorus is a declaration of love, stating that they will wait for the person to come back no matter how long it takes.


The second verse toggles between anger and sadness as the singer wonders why the person left without telling them and why they can't just start over. The biggest question is why pride is making this person run away and hide from their love. The bridge emphasizes that the singer understands that the person has feelings for them, but they are not showing it. The song ends with the chorus, where the singer is reaffirming their love and devotion, insisting that they will wait for as long it takes.


Overall, "Wait for You" is a classic ballad of unrequited love and lost opportunities. It is a song that anyone who has ever loved and lost can relate to, as it captures the feeling of heartbreak and longing so perfectly.
