Said that you weren't completely ready,
But I've been waiting a year so patiently.
I never asked once because you and I made a pact,
And now that the time has come you're taking it back.
Another promise broken, to me it's a big deal,
Our voices go silent, I don't know how to feel.
I watch as you begin to cry,
This is what happens when you tell a lie.
And please don't say you'll be ready in time,
It's obvious this is a sign.
Because...
Later could be too late,
I'm tired of attempting to wait.
So if it comes down to the point where we are through,
I'll still retain the gift I promised only for you.
I made it through our agreement only to have you cancel last minute,
I quite frankly remember this was the day you promised it.
Though I'm not mad, but I feel my eyes getting wet,
You'd be better off erasing the day that we met.
This will be hard, but don't you fret,
Here we go; ready, set, forget...
What's it gonna take?
How much longer do I have to wait?
It's been over a year,
Yet you're still stuck with the same fear.
I've given you time and I have given you space,
Still, there's anxiety spread across your face.
I don't mean to pressure you, but I hate a broken promise,
Sad to say it isn't the first time you've done this.
You'll never give in no matter how hard I try,
Guess it would be better if we just say goodbye.
Because...
Later could be too late,
I'm tired of attempting to wait.
So if it comes down to the point where we are through,
I'll still retain the gift I promised only for you.
I made it through our agreement only to have you cancel last minute,

Sure, tomorrow is another day,
But I know exactly what you're gonna say.
We need to cut the ties, we have to end;
I can't go on, I can't pretend.
Suppose it's time that you let me go,
This will be the last episode of our show.
Honestly, I know you'll be fine,
I've seen you survive without me time after time.
Go back to our first moment and erase it from your head,
To you, I should be considered dead...
Later could be too late,
I'm tired of attempting to wait.
So if it comes down to the point where we are through,
I'll still retain the gift I promised only for you.
