Wait Lyrics

Wait...I said, underneath my breath as she turned away from me.
Never did I see the look in her eye because her back was turned to me.
Maybe if I had seen a tear drop in her eyes
I would have stopped I swear I would;
but I kept pushing her to love me
but I didn’t know that I was only pushing her away from me. Maye if I hadn’t chased her to the door,
then maybe she would have come back for more.
All that I can say is if only,
maybe if I wouldn’t say maybe all the time
then she’d be back and she’d be mine.
Now I’m lost.
I’ve been down this path before,
but it hasn’t been a while.
I sit here and just think,
about my life and how I never seem to win.
Constantly not smiling because of a stupid girl,
who I only want because she doesn’t want me.
Isn’t it funny how life always works out,
works out when you’d least expect it to.
Did you know I hate your honesty.
Did you know I hate the games you play.
Maybe if I sit here for a while,
then maybe I’d have you in my arms again,
then you’d be back and more than just a friend.

Wait...I said, underneath my breath as she turned away from me. 
Never did I see the look in her eye because her back was turned to me. 
Maybe if I had seen a tear drop in her eyes 
I would have stopped I swear I would; 
but I kept pushing her to love me 
but I didn’t know that I was only pushing her away from me. Maye if I hadn’t chased her to the door, 
then maybe she would have come back for more. 
All that I can say is if only, 
maybe if I wouldn’t say maybe all the time 
then she’d be back and she’d be mine. 
Now I’m lost.

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.
