To say goodbye
So what are you waiting for
Well my feelings are disguised
So won't you walk out that door
Hurry babe
Before I cry
Hurry babe
Before I die
A few more steps
What are you waiting for
Well you say you love me babe
So why are you leaving for
You even say you're sorry
Did you think I'd believe you more
You say you wish
To still see me
Seemed silly
It's you who set me free
A few more steps
What are you waiting for
Look at you crying
Look at you shaking
Why are you doing that for
Whe where already gone through this
No need to go out for more
And I know that you're hurt
But I'm hurt too
Please don't ask me to comfort you
It's you who said that we were through
Ooh baby
Ooh baby
What are you waiting for
Ooh look at you crying
Look at you shaking
Why are you doing that for
Whe where already gone through this
No need to go out for more
And I know that you're hurt
But I'm hurt too
Please don't ask me to comfort you
It's you who said that we were through
Ooh baby
Ooh baby
You said you need your freedom
So what are you staying for
You know it's your decision
You needn't explain no more
If I'm strong enough
To stand here tall
Than why can't you be strong at all
It's time to say goodbye
Come on before I cry
Oh baby before I die
What are you waiting for
