Lyrics
Wait
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.
Well, I love to say I told you so
But not in this case
When I watch you go through life watching the passersby
And wishing you were them
Every day you wake up in a new bed
Next to someone you don't love or even know
And so you go and as goodbye you whisper
Wait for the sunrise
Before you open your eyes
Maybe then some light will shine on your intentions
And you blame them and not yourself
For falling in and never getting out
You live your days in endless hell
And spend your nights hoping that once your down
That God won't make you get up again
Maybe even take you into heaven
Anywhere where you don't have to say
Wait for the sunrise
Before you open your eyes
Maybe then some light will shine on your intentions
Well, daylight opens up the sky
The night is broken, so am I
But you won't think of me until the sun sets
Until the sun sets
But what's there left to hope for
When you live your life behind closed doors
Don't let it get to you, dear
You're better than the sad words on your paper and in your head
Don't let it get you down, love
Some faith in love will someday get you through
Don't let it get to you, dear
You're better than the sad words on your paper and in your head
Don't let it get you down, love
Some faith in love will someday get you through
So wait for the sunrise
Before you open your eyes
Maybe then some light will shine on your intentions
Well, daylight opens up the sky
The night is broken, so am I
But you won't think of me until the sun sets
Until the sun sets
The sun sets
Don't let it get to you, dear
You're better than the sad words on your paper and in your head
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
You're better than them
But what's there left to hope for
But what's there left to hope for
But what's there left to hope for
When you live your life behind closed doors
