She asked before she turned away,
"Is there anything you need to say?"
"I love you", might have worked
But I didn't say a single word
She never even made the front gate
Before I knew that I was too late
CHORUS:
I waited 'til she was far enough away
And then I cried
I waited 'til she had all she could take
And I don't know why
I wanted to say I love you
At the perfect time
And like a fool I waited 'til she said goodbye.
All the lines weren't quite right
The chances that I let slip by
All the times that I held out
Are reasons she's not here right now
All she really needed was to know
All I had to do was let it show
CHORUS(2X)
