[Verse]
I counted stars till the sky ran dry
Wished on a clock that refused to reply
Every tick every tock
Cut deep like a rock
And you stood still while I unraveled
[Prechorus]
Why’d you stretch the seconds thin
Why’d you let the dark sink in
[Chorus]
Why did you make me wait
Why did you make me cry
Why did you take your time
Now it feels too late to love
Too late to love
You let the fire turn to dust
[Verse 2]
Your words hung loose like a broken chain
Promises drowned in a sea of rain
I tried to hold on tight
But the rope burned white
And now my heart is stained
[Bridge]
I was a candle you left in the sun
Melting for someone who’d never run
Now the wax is cold
The story’s old
And you’ve only just begun
[Chorus]
Why did you make me wait
Why did you make me cry
Why did you take your time
Now it feels too late to love
Too late to love
You let the fire turn to dust
