I should've waited...
Instead of surrendering
To the demand of loneliness
Ignoring the fact that I couldn't facilitate love,
Just because love could so freely accommodate me.
My happily ever after I couldn't wait to see.
I should've waited...
When the roller coaster started
I never wanted to get off
I thought I would be giving up
When really I would be giving myself some time,
To really identify this soul of mine.
I should've waited...
With the experience I gained
I just kept exploring
I never knew what I was doing to myself
I never knew I was destroying me
Thought I was shaping what my future would be.
I should've waited...
I got so excited that I was getting serious
That I didn't think it through
The thought of domesticating was realistic
But this was not the romance novel I thought it was
My level of maturity still couldn't handle it just caus'
I should've waited...
I have wasted a lot of time
I still haven't found anyone to call mine
I don't know how to be single neither do I want to be taken
My heart has only been lent and borrowed
My body dispensed and somewhat dishonoured
I should've waited...
But I didn't still
I don't remember who I was
Before I got to where I am
All I know is I need to find myself again
Wherever she is, her life waits to begin
I should've waited...
But now I know
I've still got years to grow.
Even though patience will never be my strongest virtue,
I know I'll wait this time
Because there's someone somewhere out there waiting to be mine.
