What Are You Waiting For? - Kathleen Edwards

All the things I tried

Mistakes made in my old life

I picked you up that night

All my wrongs don’t make you right

Silence reminds me

I’m a secret too dirty to keep

And we’re such a familiar sight

I gave you my word and it cost your life

What are you still hiding?

Are you even trying?

Why have you come, what are you waiting for?

All the words you had

Planted seeds inside your head

Just waiting on a rainy day

Well I’m standing soaking and you still can’t say

All the dreams you had

It’s been years and you’re still mad

You say you like me in your memory

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me

What are you still hiding?

Are you even trying?

Why have you come?

What are you waiting for?

And we drive through the old neighbourhood

All the corners where we stood

An hour passes you don’t even blink

I’m writing you off and you still can’t speak

Why have you come?

What are you waiting for?
