Lyrics
What Are You Waiting For?
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.
There must be a reason you're calling tonight
Could it be you're never coming home?
Why do we run, why do we hide?
When we know there is something wrong?
And if this is what you want then
I can't help you, I can't win this fight
So what are you waiting for?
Someone to come
To carry you out of the darkness
What are you waiting for?
Your eyes to open up
And see me leaving here
Maybe I'm wrong to try and make you see
But you're killing yourself this time
It may take away your pain
But it can't make you whole again
And if this is what you want then
I can't help you, I can't win this fight
And if this is what you need then
Nothing can save you, nothing can make this right
So what are you waiting for?
Someone to come
To carry you out of the darkness
What are you waiting for?
Your eyes to open up
And see me leaving here
If somehow we turn it all around
Would you let me in, would you let me down?
And if somehow we turn it all around
Would you let me in, would you let me feel again?
So what are you waiting for?
Your eyes to open up
So what are you waiting for?
Someone to come
To carry you out of the darkness
What are you waiting for?
Your eyes to open up
And see me
Won't you open up
And see me leaving
What are you waiting for?
Your eyes are open
