Waiting in the Wings Lyrics

Tell me, what we, doing here anyway
It seems like, for too long, we've been playing these games

When I read out to touch you, my hand starts to shake,
Cause it hurts to be this close, but so far away

It's like I'm in the shadow of his mistakes

But I don't got a lifetime waiting for you heart to melt
Cause baby can't you see it's me that you're damaging
I'm opening my heart, and now I'm risking everything
So baby don't you leave me, waiting in the wings

I know, he hurt you, but baby, he ain't me
And I hope, someday, you'll find faith in me

I'm so desperate to touch you, I'd do anything
Can't expect, that my chances, are slowly vanishing

As the lights go on and I take the stage
I gotta find the words to say

Ohoo ohoo

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

I'm opening my heart, and now I'm risking everything
So baby don't you leave me, waiting in the wings

No Promises

Breathless

No U Hang Up

If That's Okay with You

Melt The Snow

Tell me, what we, doing here anyway
It seems like, for too long, we've been playing these games

When I read out to touch you, my hand starts to shake,
Cause it hurts to be this close, but so far away

It's like I'm in the shadow of his mistakes

I know, he hurt you, but baby, he ain't me
And I hope, someday, you'll find faith in me

I'm so desperate to touch you, I'd do anything
Can't expect, that my chances, are slowly vanishing

As the lights go on and I take the stage
I gotta find the words to say

Ohoo ohoo

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

I'm opening my heart, and now I'm risking everything
So baby don't you leave me, waiting in the wings

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To every guy I may have hurt before because I thought I protecting my heart. I am so sorry profusely sorry for hurting you. I guess when you've been hurt to many times you become too cautious. I too became too cautious and I forgot that there are good men out there who are capable of handling a woman. I am really sorry. This song made me realise that I may have been a little bit s-e-l-f-i-s-h ????
