Wait For You
Shane Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't keep on pretending another day
I think about all the time I put into this
Hoping things would change
I see that they won't now and that's ok
You're amazing
Just the way you are all I'm saying is
I'm stepping out not looking back
This the choice you made hope your fine with that
That
No I don't want to
Wait for you
I'm moving on to someone new
You should've treated me better
When you had the chance
But right now here in this moment
I know we won't last
I know that I can't
Wait for you
Cause I'm moving on to someone new
I never wanna forget you but you'll be the last
One that I give my whole heart to lets leave this in the past
We both know I deserve better
Moving on how could I hang around
So you can drag me down further
Was always good at manipulation
You want me to be the one chasing you
But girl I don't have a resolution
And here's what I'm going to do
I'm stepping out not looking back
I don't hear your voice and I'm right on track
This the choice you made hope your fine with that
That
No I don't want to
Wait for you
I'm moving on to someone new
You should've treated me better
When you had the chance
But right now here in this moment
I know we won't last
I know that I can't
Wait for you
Cause I'm moving on to someone new
I never wanna forget you but you'll be the last
One that I give my whole heart to lets leave this in the past
No I don't want to
Wait for you
I'm moving on to someone new
You should've treated me better
When you had the chance
But right now here in this moment
I know we won't last
I know that I can't
Wait for you
Cause I'm moving on to someone new
I never wanna forget you but you'll be the last
One that I give my whole heart to lets leave this in the past
No I don't want to
Wait for you
I'm moving on to someone new
You should've treated me better
When you had the chance
But right now here in this moment
I know we won't last
I know that I can't
Wait for you
Cause I'm moving on to someone new
I never wanna forget you but you'll be the last
One that I give my whole heart to lets leave this in the past

The last person I fully commit to, and let's leave our past behind

Both of us are aware that I deserve someone better
Moving on how could I hang around
How could I stay when I'm moving forward
So you can drag me down further
So you can continue to lower my spirits

You were always skilled at manipulating others
You want me to be the one chasing you
You desire me to be the one pursuing you
