But You

years of waiting to be yours
of holding all the doors
of all fours crawling on the floor

just so you could mess with me
you had the best of me
something you’re not getting anymore

so when we see each other out
and i’m not alone, you’ll figure out
she’s got what you want, she didn’t wait
and you’re too late

Chorus:
she can see what you don’t
she wants to be what you won’t
and i just can’t believe
i thought there was no one else for me but you

you, you took your precious time
with your indecisive mind
too afraid to lay it on the line

so, you kept the tried and untrue
you cried and now it’s through
well, you can’t say i didn’t try

so when we see each other out
and you’re all alone, you’ll figure out
she’s got what you want, she didn’t wait
and you’re too late

chorus

so when you see us getting close
and you’re all alone, you’re gonna know
the ship has sailed, the train left town
that plane has lifted off the ground

the chance, the one you failed to take
that you thought would be there, not today
it’s gone, that’s all there is to say
you made me wait

chorus
