Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I′m missing you
And I'm wishing that 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.
Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn't give me a chance
And all my tears they
Keep running 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'm fine it just ain′t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do I'll wait for you
It′s been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You got me feeling crazy (crazy)
How can you walk away,
Everything stays the same
I just can't do it baby
What will it take to make you come back
Girl 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 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'm fine 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's 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'm fine 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.
