Life's Not A Waiting Room

[Intro] Yeah… Heard this today… [Verse 1] Heard some words of wisdom today From an old soul passin’ my way Didn’t preach, didn’t raise her tone But it cut me deeper than I’d have known She said life ain’t a waiting room You don’t sit and hope they’ll come to you And you can’t make hearts turn your way No matter how hard you pray [Pre-Chorus] She said don’t lose yourself in the wait Don’t hang your worth on someone else’s fate [Chorus] Know that you did your very best Don’t let their absence steal what’s left No, don’t you give what’s left away To someone who chose not to stay You’re not here just to fade in time Or wait around to cross their mind If they can walk, then let them go You’re worth more than they’ll ever know [Verse 2] She said love don’t always land Where you hoped or where you planned Sometimes blood don’t bridge the space Even time can’t take its place You can call and you can try Still get silence on the line And it cuts, but truth is this You can’t force what don’t exist [Bridge] You can love with open hands Still not have them understand And it hurts more than it shows But that’s just how letting go goes [Final Chorus] Know that you did your very best Don’t let their absence steal what’s left No, don’t you give what’s left away To someone who chose not to stay You’re not here just to fade in time Or wait around to cross their mind If they can walk, then let them go You’re worth more than they’ll ever know [Outro] You did your best… let that be enough Don’t let their absence take your love
