Tell me why I'm waiting

I don’t give a fuck 'bout

Tell me why I'm waiting

I don’t give a fuck 'bout

Tell my why I'm waiting for so long

Tell me why I'm waiting, waiting

Yuh, watch you back up

Know you’re scared to love again

Every time you try, part of you just dies, you lookin' dumb again

It’s so hard to trust again

So just like that you don’t (uh)

You 'gon just get drunk again roll up and fuckin' smoke (uh)

That one used to beat on you

That one used to cheat on you

The only one that cared, you ain’t believe him so he’s leavin' you

Ain’t no family round you

Ain’t no friends that you can trust

Ain’t no love within yourself

But ain’t no way I’m giving up (come on)

Tell me why I'm waiting

I don’t give a fuck 'bout

Tell me why I'm waiting

I don’t give a fuck 'bout

Tell my why I'm waiting for so long

Tell me why I'm waiting, waiting

Yeah

I swoop in and do my thing against my better judgment

I could tell you been through hell

You need some better loving

I see movin' on is hard

I see nooses round your heart

I see bruises, I see scars

I see proof to wanna start over

But you can’t see past the pain

I swear your past got you enslaved

Girl, you can’t see past the chains

I try showin' you and tellin' you the love you deserve

But me lovin' you won’t work until you lovin' you first (damn)

Tell me why I'm waiting

I don’t give a fuck 'bout

Tell me why I'm waiting

I don’t give a fuck 'bout

Tell my why you’re waiting for so long

Tell me why I'm waiting, waiting

Tell me why I'm waiting

I don’t give a fuck 'bout

Tell me why I'm waiting

I don’t give a fuck 'bout

Tell my why you’re waiting for so long

Tell me why I'm waiting
