What You Waiting For? lyrics

[Intro]

Na-na-na-na-na na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na na-na-na

Na-na-na

[Verse 1]

Since we separated

I've been suffocated, ah yeah

All the empty space in my head

First I felt liberated by it

But solitude is overrated

The other day I swear someone said

"Someone else is sharing your bed"

Maybe you picked up where I left

Now my heart is sinking

I don't know what I've been thinking

[Pre-Chorus]

I turned a strong man weak

I threw him down, brought him to his knees

I'm hoping somehow he'll forgive me

I think to myself

[Chorus]

What you waiting for?

You'll never be sure

Swinging back and forth

Just leave him alone

What you waiting for?

You'll never be sure

Swinging back and forth

I just don't know, know, know

[Verse 2]

Now the dust has settled

I should probably level with you

Meant it when I said "I do"

Don't know why I was untrue

With everything I put you through

How'd it make you feel if I said I still love you

If I could go back, select all press undo

Never thought we'd be this couple

I ran at the first sign of trouble

[Pre-Chorus]

I turned a strong man weak

I threw him down, brought him to his knees

I'm hoping somehow he'll forgive me

I think to myself

[Chorus]

What you waiting for?

You'll never be sure

Swinging back and forth

Just leave him alone

What you waiting for?

You'll never be sure

Swinging back and forth

I just don't know, know, know

[Verse 3]

Since we separated

I've been suffocated, ah yeah

All the empty space in my head

First I felt liberated by it

But solitude is overrated

The other day I swear someone said

"Someone else is sharing your bed"

Maybe you picked up where I left

Now my heart is sinking

I don't know what I've been thinking

[Pre-Chorus]

I turned a strong man weak

I threw him down, brought him to his knees

I'm hoping somehow he'll forgive me

I think to myself

[Chorus]

What you waiting for?

You'll never be sure

Swinging back and forth

Just leave him alone

What you waiting for?

You'll never be sure

Swinging back and forth

I just don't know, know, know
