Willing To Wait Lyrics

When you see him again
Tell him everything that you told me
Tell him that I'm still your friend
And maybe you would like to see me again
I’m willing to wait my turn to be with you
But I still have a lot to learn about me
And no one's sure if we should be together

But oh, when I saw you again
A beautiful friend
She opened up her heart and let me in
No, I cannot lie to you
I’m still in love with you
And I only wanna be with you

So when you see him again
Tell him everything that you told me
We're more than friends
And maybe we should start again
Maybe you could love me again
Cuz oh, when I saw you again
A beautiful friend
She opened up her heart and let me in
No, I cannot lie to you
I'm still in love with you
And I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you

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.

What a beautiful, sad song. I think its fairly obvious what this song is about, how sometimes love is such a terribly strong emotion. Love it.

i get chills when it breaks in to the "But ohhhhhhhh, when I saw you again"

it's like seeing a girl you once loved and you had managed to put her out of your mind, had moved on... and then you suddenly see her, and all the emotion comes flooding back.

the swell of subtle strings in the chorus certainly help fuel that feeling.
