[Verse 1]:

These feelings were overdue

You know that it's true

Kept out of sight from the foreground

As your heart has found

[Pre-Chorus]:

You didn't want this

You never meant this

You didn't want this

You never meant this

[Chorus]:

What were you waiting for?

You kept yourself on hold for too long

For too long

[Verse 2]:

Nothing was really there

You just stood and stared

What you were missing, not what you had

Suddenly it hits and you realise

[Pre-Chorus]:

You didn't want this

You never meant this

You didn't want this

You never meant this

[Chorus]:

What were you waiting for?

You kept yourself on hold for too long

For too long
