Lyrics

I Don't Wanna Wait

I don't wanna wait
I'm lyin' on the floor
You're a prisoner of love, hmm
I don't wanna change
I'm right behind the door
I'm bloodied, but I'm used, hmm

I don't wanna wait
But I'm turning to you
I'll stop
Am I breakin' you down? Oh

I don't wanna break everything
Let me offer my only hope
Like a snowflake dancing down an empty road

I don't wanna change, but I'm running out of time
I got lost in the darkness, thought I'd get somewhere
But I slowly disconnected from my own best friend

I don't wanna wait
Yeah, but I'm running to you
I'm starving
Am I breaking you down over nothing?
Show a little faith
Yeah, but I'm running to you, baby
I'm starving
Am I breaking you down over nothing?

All I've lost and all I've found
Would you understand?
All I really needed
Was your helping hand

All this feeling lonesome
Tiresome struggling
Would you care any longer?
And it carries me back to you

I don't wanna wait
Yeah, when I'm running to you
I'm starving
Am I breaking you down over nothing?
Show a little faith
Yeah, when I'm running to you
I'm starving
Am I breaking you down over nothing?
I don't wanna wait
