"Don't Make Me Wait" lyrics

"Don't Make Me Wait"

Don't make me wait for another minute
Don't make me wait while you smooth over the cracks
The facts, the pacts you made, the ugly truths and memories
Memories we both laid

Don't make me wait for another minute
Don't make me wait while you're counting out the change
Now that you've rearranged the money I could call my own
Now you're calling it a loan

Nowadays you're just throwing parties
Hounding every hopeful as she comes through the door
Whatever you do, oh you mustn't invite her
She'll just mutter something inappropriate

And you watch while everybody's leaving
What's more you know it's with good reason
I've been waiting in line and now I'm thinking it's time
Yes I'm thinking it's time I jumped the queue
Don't you?

Don't make me wait for another minute
Don't make me wait while you make another round
To check up on the friends that you have found
They could be from enemy territory

Don't make me wait for another minute
Don't make me wait while you're feigning your surprise
You're not the only one with a disguise
I followed you, now I'm following through

Nowadays you're just throwing parties
Scrutinising subjects as they fill up the floor
Whatever you do, oh you mustn't invite her
She'll just mutter something inappropriate

And you watch while everybody's leaving
What's more you know it's with good reason
I've been waiting in line and now I'm thinking it’s time
Yes I'm thinking it's time

Oh, suffering as consequence
Since when did that make any sense?
Never been a need when you can blame me
I'm just the one to mop it up
When someone overflows your cup
Sitting in the shadows till you blame me
Waiting in the wings for you to blame me

You'll never ever make it on your own
What makes you think you'll make it on your own?
Now that you have no other
Searching for a flashlight just to get through the night

You'll never ever make it on your own
What makes you think you'll make it on your own?
Now that you have no other
Searching for a flashlight just to get through the night

(Never make it on your own)
