How Long Must I Wait Lyrics

How Long Must I Wait to Say Goodbye

The longest wait is praying, hoping, fearing
The engines idle turns to tire marks
The only place where something is not broken
is somewhere deep inside my broken heart

So if you need to run away, you run away
And if you need to get lost, get lost today
But if you need to get high just to leave, get high
How long must I wait to say goodbye?

You'll find some love and be with loving people
You'll tie up all your dead ends and move on
You're sweet and young, oh lord you have no equal
With me you're as good as dead and gone

So if you need to run away, well, run away
And if you need to get lost, get lost today
And if you need to get high just to leave, get high
How long must I wait to say goodbye?
How long must I wait to say goodbye?

Oooooh

And if you need to run away, you run away
And if you need to get lost, get lost today
And if you need to get high just to leave, get high
How long must I wait to say goodbye?
How long must I wait to say goodbye?

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.
