You Waited Too Long
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(“If you think your marriage is so great, why the fuck are you turning to other people’s wives for comfort?”
“Can, can I tell you what’s going on here?”
“Yeah, please, do!”)
Did he really get to take you home?
I’m surprised that you chose him
I’m surprised that I’m not in a halfway home
I’m not surprised I never saw you alone
When they brought me home
So who does this separation work for?
So which one of us will wage war and war?
It’s not about the feelings that we shared before
No, ‘cause your words don’t calm anymore
Gah, no more
What did you want me for?
How do you call
What we have love when you don’t even notice
The look upon my face?
Yeah, I’ve done this before
You’ll be sorrier when I’m gone
Yeah, you waited too long
And did you really think I’d take it?
When information fabricated
Look, I give you credit for pathetically thinking that you could make this up
Watch this
She turns on her face
He stays in her house, invading your space
Helpless, you know that I’m away
A mac truck sitting in a hotel crazy
Red light on the phone
Blinking like it’s telling me there’s something wrong
Or right, I don’t
I need to know
How do you call
What we have love when you don’t even notice
The look upon my face?
Yeah, I’ve done this before
You’ll be sorrier when I’m gone
Yeah, you waited too long
How do you call
What we have love when you don’t even notice
The look upon my face?
Yeah, I’ve done this before
You’ll be sorrier when I’m gone
Yeah, you waited too
Yeah, you waited too long
This is urgent, call ‘em emergency
I don’t know how to stop
More capgun than a pistol, you fill your clip with lies
Then load each one and fire it over my head
I need a finish line, this pressure’s too high
I should have seen the end was coming sooner than I ever did
Reached down to the pit of my soul
I found things that I really didn’t wanna know were there
I guess the wait is over
How do you call
What we have love when you don’t even notice
The look upon my face?
Yeah, I’ve done this before
You’ll be sorrier when I’m gone
Yeah, you waited too
How do you call
What we have love when you don’t even notice
The look upon my face?
Yeah, I’ve done this before
You’ll be sorrier when I’m gone
Yeah, you waited too long
