I couldn't wait forever
Did you expect me to
I guess you thought i'd never
Find somebody new
I lived on dreams and promises
As long as i could
I couldn't wait forever
The way you thought i would
The lonely nights grew longer
As i prayed for time to fly
I lived on hopes that you'd return
And that's how i got by
The agony of loneliness
Just got too much for me
I couldn't wait forever
Needing love so desperately

So i found new lips to kiss me
New arms to hold me tight
I found new love and happiness
To fill these empty nights
You took my love for granted
Now my heart has found a new home
I couldn't wait forever
Forever's just too long
I couldn't wait forever
Forever's just too long
