BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Don't Wait For Me
- I been thinkin' bout what I could have done better,
- Decisions I've made built me up to be who I am
- Someday I'll wake up and have faced all my sins
- My emotions reconciled with the intent within
- It might take a bottle, it might take a sip
- But I know that I need this to get a grip
- I have slipped, I admit it, but give me some credit
- Why were you so desperate to get out of the lifestyle we built?
- It's like overnight you just flipped the script,
- And inside my mind, I am poorly equipped
- Don't wait for me,
- You deserve the fucking world
- I wake up each day and wish I could provide
- But my hands are always tied,
- And it's kinda absurd
- You are perfect boo, in every way I know,
- So despite all my mistakes, you probably should know
- There ain't enough words to articulate
- What I wish I could give to you
- The most basic emotion, still foreign to me
- Like a sailboat lost at sea, this motion is too much for me
- Overwhelming, I capsize, drowning for sure
- Your love was the only cure
- Time for me to disappear, a new frontier awaits
- Beyond the gates, and past this life
- Where higher stakes await a modern Shakespeare
- Forgetting all of the love we've made here
- And commandeer my own life before I get to the afterlife
- I should have made you my wife,
- How could have I have been such a fool?
- You gave me your life, 11 years, close to 12, and now you're the victim
- Of my inability to see beyond myself
- I remember when I saw you in high school,
- I had to wipe away the drool, how could I have been such a tool?
- You offered your beauty, your love, and your time
- These things are not given, and can not be bought
- I became so driven to make you mine
- That I failed to see the unconditional love you sought
- Don't wait for me,
- You deserve the fucking world
- I wake up each day and wish I could provide
- But my hands are always tied,
- And it's kinda absurd
- You are perfect boo, in every way I know,
- So despite all my mistakes, you probably should know
- There ain't enough words to articulate
- What I wish I could give to you
- You told me you would leave me if I didn't change my ways,
- And I was too blind to understand how valuable it is nowadays
- To have someone who loves you and wants you to be happy,
- And sometimes, you get lucky, and they wanna start a family
- Sometimes, I feel it's just a game of shifting blame,
- And staking a claim to try and tame the shame I feel inside
- For letting you down all of those years and cowering before my fears
- You asked for a rock and a promise of love,
- I always looked at the clock like, "Oh, eventually.
- You'll see! I love you, but that's a huge commitment!
- Maybe in the future, when things are different."
- Fast forward 5 years and the excuses never stopped,
- I started to feel like I was just robbing you.
- How could I continue? What an issue.
- All of those times I should have copped up to what you expected of me
- Maybe you'd still be here with me
- Don't wait for me,
- You deserve the fucking world
- I wake up each day and wish I could provide
- But my hands are always tied,
- And it's kinda absurd
- You are perfect boo, in every way I know,
- So despite all my mistakes, you probably should know
- There ain't enough words to articulate
- What I wish I could give to you
