We got good at waiting
But the waiting got us good
We let our feelings linger
And we never understood
What we had was worthy
Of more than what we gave it
We were scared so we waited
But the waiting got us good

And when one of us reached out
The other reached for another
We keep missing the chance to get together
Take it any further

We were never meant to be
If it hasn't happened now
Shoulda known that it would end this way
Givin' up on you and me
'Cause it's time for letting go
I guess our love was only good at waiting

We got good at waiting
But the waiting got us good
Too many words unspoken
Never told you when I could
Hands are tied behind us
They should be 'round each other
We were scared so we waited
But the waiting got us good

And when one of us pushed a little harder
Moved a little closer
The other one of us turned the other way
Pretended it was over

We were never meant to be
If it hasn't happened now
Shoulda known that it would end this way
Givin' up on you and me
'Cause it's time for letting go
I guess our love was only good at waiting

And I know that I'd never give back all those years I lost to you
But maybe I'm more myself now having realised the truth
It's time I stop reaching for you so I can reach for myself
We waited too long now I'm somebody else

We were never meant to be
If it hasn't happened now
Shoulda known that it would end this way
Givin' up on you and me
'Cause it's time for letting go
I guess our love was only good at waiting
