Didn't I wait for you?

Didn't I say I'm sorry?

Didn't I do the best I could?

You have high expectations

Don't I know that you've explained it

How I should prove myself to you

...

But I can't when I'm with you

I need to laugh again

But I can't when I'm with you

I need to find my way by myself

I can not wait until you hear my story

I can not wait until I burst

If I could have a day without no worries

Maybe I'd figure out a way to stay

...

Didn't I put you first?

Didn't I reassure you?

Did you ever do those things for me?

I don't mind complicated

But the line is crossed, I'm waiting

For a sincere apology

...

But you can't when you're with me

You need to find a way

But you can't when you're with me

You can with everyone else, just not me

I can not wait until you hear my story

I can not wait until I burst

If I could have a day without no worries

Maybe I'd figure out a way to stay

...

Didn’t I wait for you? Yeah

Didn’t I say I’m sorry?

Didn't I do the best I could, I could?

You have high expectations

Oh, know that you've explained it

How I should prove myself to you

...

If I could have a day without no worries

Maybe I'd figure out a way to stay

I can not wait until you hear my story

If I could have a day without no worries
