Why Wait Lyrics by St. South

Nervous Energy

2016

These ties you throw into the fire
Old lies will never bring you higher
Our love is only get tired
I am only getting tired now
If something isn’t better
Why wait, for you to drop a ladder
Why wait, you’re only getting older
It’s too late to throw over the shoulder
I say, this is no disaster
But I know I wouldn’t put it past her
To hold on, forever to the old her

An old flame, an old fire

I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart

Bad news, I’m swinging with a vengeance
Don’t wait for me to make an entrance
Your light is only getting dimmer
When my brain is only running faster now
Been trying to forgive me
Why wait, when it was never on me?
Why wait, for you to get to know me?
You hit light, but hard enough to hurt me
I may forget that you are hurting
But I know I’m trying to be open
I'll hold on, forever to the old her

An old flame, an old fire

I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart

I feel okay, when I'm with you
I feel okay, when I'm with you
I feel okay, when I'm with you
I feel okay, when I'm with you

I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart

I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
I was in love then, you said, of when we were apart
