I couldn't wait forever
  Did you expect me to
  I guess you thought I'd never
  Find somebody new
  I lived on dreams and promises
  As long as I could
  I couldn't wait forever
  The way you thought I would
  The lonely nights grew longer
  As I prayed for time to fly
  I lived on hopes that you'd return
  And that's how I got by
  The agony of loneliness
  Just got too much for me
  I couldn't wait forever
  Needing love so desperately
  
  So I found new lips to kiss me
  New arms to hold me tight
  I found new love and happiness
  To fill these empty nights
  You took my love for granted
  Now my heart has found a new home
  I couldn't wait forever
  Forever's just too long
  I couldn't wait forever
  Forever's just too long
