Waiting for Never
Post Malone Lyrics

Should've seen the signs, so I guess I deserved it
I should have recognized the warning signals, so I acknowledge that I brought this upon myself.

Made a habit overlookin' cracks in the surface
I consistently ignored the flaws and issues that were visible.

Goin' along with the bullshit you sold me
I was deceived by the lies and manipulation you fed me.

What was I to do when the bottle stopped workin'?
When my coping mechanism (alcohol) failed to numb the pain, what options did I have?

Tryna make a home out a house while it's burnin' down
Attempting to establish stability and comfort in a chaotic and deteriorating situation.

Burnin' to the ground
Completely falling apart or collapsing.

Oh, if all these walls could talk
If the walls could speak, they would reveal the truth.

They would tell me, 'Sit down, man, shut the fuck up'
They would advise me to calm down and stop speaking.

You put me through hell but I can't get enough
Despite the suffering you caused me, I find myself strangely drawn to you.

It took a lil' while, baby, then I woke up
After some time, I finally realized the truth or became aware of the reality.

Whoa, when all these tattoos fade
In the future, when the physical reminders of our connection disappear.

I will never look back, you'll be in the same place
I will move forward without dwelling on the past, while you remain stuck in the same situation.

I keep tellin' myself, if I wanted you to change
I continuously remind myself that if I truly desired you to transform.

I'd be waiting for never
I would be indefinitely waiting because your change is unlikely.

Yeah, you could've done a better job at hidin' your intentions
You should have been more skillful in concealing your true motives.

I know what you did, stop bein' so defensive
I am aware of your actions, so stop trying to justify yourself excessively.

Save it, when did you become so jaded?
Spare me the excuses; when did you become cynical and disillusioned?

I seen so many come and go, then come back to me
I have witnessed numerous individuals leaving and eventually returning to me.

I'll never ever let another take half of me
I will never allow someone else to have such a significant influence or control over me.

I can't win, and still I chase it
Despite the impossibility of winning, I continue to pursue it relentlessly.

Just look right at my face
Direct your gaze towards my visage.

Yeah, you should stay away
Indeed, you should keep your distance.

There's nothin' left to fake
There are no more illusions or facades to maintain.

There's nothin' left to take
There is nothing else for you to gain or extract.
