Not Waiting Anymore

Three rings till voicemail, staring at the phone Counting days on calendars, hoping I'm not alone "Just give me time," he'd say, "Things will work out soon" But promises kept fading like stars before the moon I'm not waiting anymore Got my keys, got my boots by the door My heart's been patient long enough Now I'm driving toward the rising sun No more sitting by that silent phone No more putting my life on hold I'm not waiting, not waiting anymore Woke up one Tuesday with a clarity so bright Like someone flipped a switch and bathed my soul in light Drew a line in the sand where I'd been standing still Said goodbye to "maybe" and hello to "I will" I'm not waiting anymore Got my keys, got my boots by the door My heart's been patient long enough Now I'm driving toward the rising sun No more sitting by that silent phone No more putting my life on hold I'm not waiting, not waiting anymore There's nothing like the freedom when you finally let go Of all those expectations that were never yours to own And I'm not bitter, honey, just finally breathing free The woman in the mirror finally looks like me Windows down and radio up, hair dancing wild Singing at the top of my lungs like a carefree child Painted dreams in colors that I'd never dared before Now each mile is a promise I'm keeping to myself I'm not waiting anymore Got my keys, got my boots by the door My heart's been patient long enough Now I'm driving toward the rising sun If you're ever ready, that's just fine But life's too short to stand in line I'm not waiting, not waiting anymore No, I'm not waiting anymore
