Wait For You - Elliott Yamin (Lyrics)

Wait For You Song by : Elliott Yamin

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I'm missing you, and I'm wishing you would come back through my door
Oh, why did you have to go?
You could have let me know
So now I'm all alone
Girl, you could have stayed but you wouldn't give me a chance
With you not around, it's a little bit more than I can stand
Oh, and all my tears, they
Keep runnin' down my face
Why did you turn away?
So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be
So, baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me?)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) everything stays the same?
I just can't do it, baby
What will it take to make you come back?
Girl, I told you what it is, and it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me?
You're still in love with me
Don't leave me crying
Baby, why can't we just, just start over again
Get it back to the way it was?
If you give me a chance, I can love you right
But you're telling me it won't be enough
So, baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you're keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be
Baby, I will wait for you
Oh
Baby, I will wait for you
If it's the last thing I do
Baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
I'll be waiting

I used to sing to this when I was 14yrs old. I am now 30yrs old and I'm still singing to this. This meant so much to me as a teenager. I know it might seem weird, but every love song reminds me of my mom. I've experienced heartbreak, but nothing compares to my mom who chose drugs over her children.

If you grew up on this kind of music, THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME! 💖

[rinusui]

I chose not to confess my feelings for you because I don't want to lose our friendship. I loved you for 7yrs and now, I'm going to let go. May God guide you and bless you. :)

When I tell you Elliott sang my heart. People sometimes don't understand that type of love, when its real, you will endure the tears and you will wait as long as you have to when they are the one. I write this comment with tears streaming down my face because that type of love entered into my life about 3 years ago. I knew from the moment I saw them, I didn't want anyone else. That night we met and I told them you are the one I am going to spend my life with. A year and 3 months into our relationship, we split up. Something told me to be still. I waited almost 1 year to the day that we split, and we reconciled and are now back together. I cried and I prayed almost every single day that God would let them know how much I loved them. To let them know in their heart, that if they gave me a chance I would show them I wasn't like the men who came before me. And it was hard but I did it, then God answered my prayer. He gave my baby back. So Elliot Yamin sang my heart truly in this song

[vickysakurano]

Anyone still listening in 2021?? ❤❤ I really hope that you would succeed getting the guy/girl you've been waiting for

[Wasuduta]

2002- We met and fell in love immediately
2006- We broke up and went our separate ways. Mistakes made on both parts
2017- Found each other again, got over our past, still just as in love
2021- Married and still are.
We waited for each other in our hearts and always have been in love with each other. Now, here we are 21 years later.
❤

Imma tell a story

So there's this girl I saw way back 2017. At the time, she was in 6th grade and I was in 7th. We were apart by just a few years but when I saw her, her beauty stunned me. I just said to myself, whoever gets to date her is one hell of a lucky guy. Flash forward to 2019 when she's finally in 8th grade and me in the 9th, by chance, I got to meet her since we were still in the same school. I may not have talked to her personally but we always see each other. During our Christmas Party in December, there was a costume contest that my best friend entered. There, he met that same girl from 2 years ago. Eventually, after a few days of commenting on her photos and posts on Facebook, my best friend and that girl dated, and are still dating. That same exact girl happened to finally become my best friend as well, so you can say that my best friend and my other best friend were dating each other. I got to know the girl behind the scenes using messenger. She was an honest to goodness kind and mischievous girl, just like me. I'm not a girl btw, if anyone assumed. As we chatted day in and day out during the holidays last year, I gradually fell in love with her. But as her best friend, and her boyfriend's best friend as well, I've stuck to just being in the sidelines, cheering them on as their relationship just kept getting better and better each day. Even though I wanted her to love me instead of him, I respected her decision and their relationship. I'm not a homewrecker like my father before me, I won't ever make that same mistake.

But sometimes, here on my bed, I always think of her. Every day, every night, she's all I can think about. If only there was a chance, in which I could properly tell her how much I truly loved her.

I did tell her before, but she turned me down. She loved her boyfriend, and I was proud of her for it.

Hearing this song after all that happened, just set off tears in my eyes.

I will wait for her, even if my hair turns gray, even if my eyes can't see, even if my skin is wrinkled and my mind can't remember.

From the bottom of my heart, I will keep waiting for her, and I will keep on loving her.

Even if it takes the rest of my life....

I remember loving this song in 2007. Me, my twin sister and a college friend driving in her car singing. Nostalgia is painful.
