Can't Keep Waiting

(album: I May Be An Actress, But I Can't Fake How I Feel - 2023)

I've been waiting for a real long time to say this
Are you scared
You've been taking me for granted, thinking confrontation
I wouldn't dare

You said I backed you in a corner
But we were in your room
You said I made you less important
We both know that's not true

You said I should just be patient
That I'd learn how to deal
I may be an actress
But I can't fake how I feel

I can't keep waiting
For us to want the same things
I can't help hating
We'll have different endings

I wanted to grow with you
Now I think I know that you
Would be better off
Growing without me

I can't keep waiting
Cause it just hurts
I can't keep waiting
For us to work

I've been playing real nice even when I don't mean to
It's how I am

I've been telling everybody that I haven't seen you
Not that you ran

You said I backed you in a corner
But we were in your room
I just wanted a step forward
But you wouldn't move

I said that I couldn't take it (ah)
I don't know how to deal
I may be an actress
But I can't fake how I feel

I can't keep waiting (I can't)
For us to want the same things
I can't help hating
We'll have different endings

I wanted to grow with you
Now I think I know that you
Would be better off
Growing without me

I can't keep waiting
Cause it just hurts
I can't keep waiting
For us to work

Oh
You don't know what I've been through
Oh
You don't know what you've missed
You think all you want is the road less traveled
But what you want is a map where that is

I can't keep waiting
For us to want the same things
Cause I've been waiting
And I'm disappointed

I wanted to grow with you
Now I think I know that you
Would be better off
Growing without me (without me)

I can't keep waiting
Cause it just hurts
I can't keep waiting
For us to work
