What Are You Waiting For Lyrics

What are you waiting for

I'm just trying to be the person my parents always told me to be

I'm just trying to be the man my girls expect for me to be

I'm just trying to be the person always thought I ought to be

But wait, is there something missing

Is there something blissing

Well, anyway, what's been on my mind

That ever since I was a small kind of walking on a thin line

Between what's wrong and what's right

Somehow, always ending up

Leaning to the side that everybody dislikes

What are you waiting for

As I grow older

Learn not to care

Not to dwell on my past

Keep running from despair

Put it back in my mind

But I know it's always there

Sometimes it comes up,

Knocking on my door

Tell him, go away, I don't wanna see you anymore

So I try to slam the door

He puts his hand out

Come on, don't you wanna see the heated floor

We got things we know you adore

People never see you differently

So what are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

Had to take a moment, take a step back

Look into the sky, ask me why

Who is this guy? Doesn't seem to lie

What does this signify

If I go with him, I will never fly

Then he kept whispering

What are you waiting for

Making me overthink

Question everything that I knew

That was sealed, never to be revealed

I will never be a good person

With all the wrong I have done

Many things I take back

Many things I run from

Wanna be a better person

Wanna prove my worth

Wanna prove I'm more than dirt

Gotta be more alert

There's no time to desert

Gotta put my front first

Then I look into the mirror

Then I ask myself

What are you waiting for

I can never seem to understand you

I have all these questions

But I'm afraid to hear their answers

I might hear I'm not on the list

It's a big twist

Please make your way to the mist

Promise you won't forget this

Then I reflect on who I am

And what I'm turning out to be

Am I fighting for the light

Am I fighting for the dark

I don't know where to start

Hope we don't drift apart

I just wanna play my part

Then I kept hearing

What are you waiting for
