She asked before she turned away 
 "Is there anything you need to say" 
 "I love you" might have worked 
 But I never said a single word 
 She never even made the front gate 
 Before I knew I was too late 
 
[Chorus:] 
 I waited 'till she was far enough away 
 And then I cried 
 I waited till I had all she could take 
 I don't know why 
 I wanted to say "I love you" 
 At the perfect time 
 And like a fool 
 I waited till she said goodbye 
 All the lines weren't quite right 
 The chances that I let slip by 
 All the times that I held out 
 Are reasons she's not here right now 
 All she really needed was to know 
 All I had to do was let it show 

[Chorus:]
