I held my sentence like a stone in my mouth Gave you the quiet gave you the route You could have met me in the middle of the mess Instead you let the silence dress up as finesse I studied your face for a crack in the pride A single clean word that would settle the side You offered me weather you offered me time Never the sentence that would make it align I wasn't begging I was giving you room You used the room like a comfortable tomb I waited I waited I waited for you to apologize first I waited I waited You never reversed I waited for you to apologize first You left me standing in the unfinished verse I waited for you to apologize first Now the wait is a weapon and I know what it's worth I waited for you to apologize first Don't come with the speech when the damage is nursed I waited for you to apologize first I waited for you to apologize first Pride looks expensive until the bill arrives You kept your image and surrendered the lives I don't need poetry I needed the plain A straight admission not a fog of refrain You had the order you chose the delay I closed the hour It does not replay I waited I waited I waited for you to apologize first I waited You never reversed I waited for you to apologize first You left me standing in the unfinished verse I waited for you to apologize first Now the wait is a weapon and I know what it's worth I waited for you to apologize first I waited for you to apologize first I waited for you to apologize first I waited for you to apologize first
