Wait for Me
Shane Harper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sorry, I love you and please don't go's
I've waited so long, I'm sure it shows
I've written a thousand words I know
Chorus:
I'm wasting away, a little more everyday
Wait for me, Wait for me
Wait for me, Wait for me, Wait for me
I've sold a million lies you spoke
Over and over, till we broke
I know that it means everything
To you but do you really think
That time apart will mend and help us grow
I've told a million lies I know
Chorus:
I'm wasting a way, a little more everyday
Wait for me, Wait for me
When I ask you to stay, how you gonna go on your way
Wait for me, Wait for me, Wait for me
Oh whoa (x4)
I'm wasting away, a little more everyday
Wait for me...
When we're wasting away, a little more everyday
Wait for me, wait for me
When I ask you to stay how you gonna go on your way
Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me
My love, don't tell me that's it over
My love can't take it anymore
My love is staring at the future
My love is staring at the door
Don't wait for me
